[QUOTE="clembo, post: 560380, member: 8033"]Ben, I have generally enjoyed your posts. You know your stuff and state your opinions. Seems you've come to realize that there are many collectors out there that just happen to like what others don't. DIVERSITY! It can be so grand at times. THIS IS WHAT MAKES THE FORUM A FUN PLACE. I could give a rat's hiney about an MS70 Silver Eagle but many do and good for them. Bottom line is we're all collectors of some sort and there IS a lot to be learned. To me that's beyond cool. It may come as a surprise to some but I really have a TERRIBLE temper. I rarely let it out and when I do it's in person and not pretty. I have witnesses and should note it's not physical. I can be mean. ;) I think these things are in all of us. I learned to control mine but will never deny it's there. It changed when I was in college and let it go one day at work. Just up and quit over something that really WAS totally stupid. My boss looked at me and asked me what I would accomplish by quitting (BTW the stupidity came from Corporate NOT him). Instead of getting more teed off I slept on it. The answer was nothing was being accomplished and I continued to work there. In later management positions I asked the same of many employees. Very few ever got it actually but it was a great lesson. Seems you may have reached this level on your own Ben. Good for you. It's never a bad thing to speak your mind. It's when one shuts off everyone elses opinions/thoughts (as silly as they may be) that one loses the reality grip. I still do it and know it. Makes the world a more interesting place now doesn't it. clembo[/QUOTE]
