<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 3170034, member: 71723&quot;]There it is, right there. Rereading this thread top to bottom revealed it. That is SUCH wisdom. I&#039;m sorry, but I have to assume this site has gone the way it has because that&#039;s what the site owner wants it to be. And if &quot;this&quot; is what he wants, he clearly does NOT want me on it. Nor does at least one moderator.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it symptomatic of just this one website, or is it a cancer that is growing on numismatics in general? I&#039;m not qualified to answer, but I&#039;ll readily admit to being very much afraid of the answer.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll add one last point. Many of you who <b><i>ARE</i></b> ANA members may know the ANA&#039;s website also features a discussion board feature. It is highly controversial now among the membership precisely BECAUSE it is also overrun by newbness. So the evidence does mount that the problem is bigger than just CoinTalk. Here, NGC, ANA, etc. I don&#039;t know what the &quot;magic bullet&quot; is or isn&#039;t, but it does threaten to tear the hobby apart. I won&#039;t speak to anyone else&#039;s needs, but my remaining time on the planet (as opposed to IN it) is likely so short that I increasingly can&#039;t afford lost minutes on things I no longer enjoy. Right now, CoinTalk is SLOWLY but inexorably sliding into that category.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
