<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 402974, member: 15062&quot;]Since my collection was stolen 25+ years ago I have had no active interest in numismatics.&nbsp; I do, however, maintain a passive interest and, to that end, have been reading, and occasionally contributing to, this forum.&nbsp; In the time I have been lurking here, I have learned quite a bit about numismatics and about ethics.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as coins go, I wish I had known 25 years ago much of the information I have since been made aware of.&nbsp; If I ever get back into collecting I will be able to do so from a more informed poiont of view.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as ethics go, I am saddened by some of the things I have learned here.&nbsp; When I read that some of you would willingly take advantage of someone else&#039;s ignorance in order to enrich yourselves, I fear I may have been introduced to the wrong crowd.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is amazing how some here can justify cheating another person with less knowledge than they have.&nbsp; I&#039;m not trying to be a sanctimonious jerk but I really couldn&#039;t live with myself if I enriched myself at someone else&#039;s expense.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not a religious person.&nbsp; I&#039;ve only been in a church about a dozen times in the past 20 years for weddings or funerals, but I live my life according to the Golden Rule and naively expect that others would do the same.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
