<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3014704, member: 19463"]If this is a problem, we all could help the matter my avoiding unnecessary posts that result in some threads cycling back to the top and pushing other threads off the first page.

For that purpose, we can just 'like' a previous post to be friendly or read and ignore the ones that are not something we can benefit the group by posting. We also have the option of sending friendly greetings through a private conversation where we might feel more free to say what needs to be said but would be of no interest to anyone else. The newest members may not yet be able to initiate a conversation but they can receive them from others who have been here a few days and have met the requirements. </p><p><br /></p><p>Coin clubs, online or face to face, always suffer from difficulty meeting the needs of those join for the 'coin' part and those just looking for a 'club'. One local club near me meets in an Italian restaurant with so many members there for the food that they hardly have time for the coin discussions. Coin Talk has become what it is from being useful to a certain number of posters. As we fail to meet those desires, our numbers will dwindle to the point that posts will stay high for weeks.
