Your name! </i><span style="color: #282828"><font face="arial">For a man to wrap himself up and draw his hat over his face, and then fall upon people who are walking about without any disguise–this is not the part of a gentleman, it is the part of a scoundrel and a knave.</font></span><span style="color: #282828"><font face="arial">An anonymous review has no more authority than an anonymous letter; and one should be received with the same mistrust as the other. Or shall we take the name of the man who consents to preside over what is, in the strict sense of the word, <i>une societe anonyme</i> as a guarantee for the veracity of his colleagues?&quot;</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #282828"><font face="arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #282828"><font face="arial"><font size="3"><br /></font></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #282828"><font face="arial"><font size="3">I think the whole point of this is if someone is hiding on the net under his &quot;dog&#039;s name&quot;, and shows a coin, declares it to be an error, and upon questioning by other persons as to the coin&#039;s veracity in being a real error, declares it to have been confirmed by a coin error expert who has more than 45 years of coin expert experience, but fails to provide that name, so the other people who believe the coin to not be an error can verify with that expert that the coin in question had been examined independently and confirmed, with that expert&#039;s reputation on the line for accuracy.....</font></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #282828"><font face="arial"><font size="3"><br /></font></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #282828"><font face="arial"><font size="3">Then it seems like someone is presenting something which has &quot;no more authority than an anonymous letter&quot;, and the warnings about people who hide in anonymity and provide no authority to back them up is to be either dismissed or held to question until it can be confirmed.</font></font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
