[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1261770, member: 112"]You didn't, you couldn't. You see, I learned a long time ago that others can only offend you if you them allow them to do so. That said, you claim that my use of absolutes regarding your idea proves the lack of intellectual acumen on my part. Well, if I told you that you would absolutely fail were you to try and start up a business being a structural engineer, a neurosurgeon, a biophysicist or a theoretical astrophysicist - with the understanding that you would be doing the work yourself - would you still say that my comments lacked intellectual acumen ? You see, it appears that you are making an assumption. The assumption being that becoming a coin dealer does not require any great knowledge or a long period of study [U]before[/U] you could ever think of opening a business doing that. And that is your mistake. For being a coin dealer, a successful coin dealer, requires the same amount of knowledge and study that all of those things I mentioned above require. Problem is, there are no schools, colleges or universities where you can obtain that knowledge. It can only be obtained by self education and experience, and that actually makes it harder to do than the things I mentioned above. Like I said, you claim intelligence - but are you smart enough to listen ?[/QUOTE]
