Message:: [QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 3169635, member: 71723"]Randy, your last line almost nails it - Yes, my patience for that runs hot and cold, and when I'm not feeling physically well, as now, I COMPLETELY LOSE IT over those posts. I just can't take it any more some days. But yes, you may have also hit on something here: Without signing on to THAT particular line of discussion, yes, I WOULD like a place where that SORT of higher level conversation is available in enough volume, and I'm not getting that here. But... Goodness no, far too little. We need more, MUCH more. I have even dabbled recently on the NGC forum, but it has almost disappeared, mostly from too much ultra-newb material as well. I find myself ENVIOUS of our Ancients section, so much so that I am even thinking of getting into Ancient Greek coins. What if there were more U.S. focused intellectual material here? But alas, there is not. Or it's hiding. Is it hiding? Yes, I so enjoyed my six days bathed in a summer ANA experience that I'm suffering from withdrawal, along with "walking pneumonia". I love that way of doing numismatics, God help me I do. It's only four days past and I do miss it so. Cripes, my "stuff coming in the mail" isn't even here yet, and I'm trying to figure out how to "bridge" myself until my next big show.[/QUOTE]
