<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 389673, member: 4626&quot;]Maybe it&#039;s just me, but whenever I hear the defense of &quot;they support the hobby&quot; (and not just the ANA either, but any organization for any hobby) I always wonder, why does the hobby need support?&nbsp; If no such organization exists, would the hobby disappear?&nbsp; Any hobby with enough participatants is inherently self-supporting... those who have interest in it will find each other and share information whehter a formal organization exists or not.&nbsp; In the age of the Internet it is easy to find like-minded individuals to share information about whatever hobby you have an interest in.&nbsp; Not knocking the ANA or anything, but if they suddenly ceased to exist tomorrow it wouldn&#039;t be the death of coin collecting.&nbsp; The only thing any given hobby can&#039;t possibly survive without is interested participants.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
