<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 450411, member: 307&quot;]ok... this is obviuosly devolving into an argument over what is vs. what &quot;should be&quot;, and that was not my intention. I see most of the points made as being argumentative and protetctive of the very people that are ruining our hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>My point is that we can help our hobby and the consumers of our hobby by urging that for the purposes of advertising and promotion ONLY that the term coin have a specific meaning in commerce. This is not a declaration of the word coin to mean anything in normal conversation or parliance.</p><p><br /></p><p>An individual may use ANY word any way that they please, but in the transacting of commerce, that the word coin have a definative and clear meaning. Many other words legally use this type of clarity simply to prevent fraud. I was merely suggesting that we try to protect our hobby from obviuos profiteers and scheisters by attaching a definative meaning to a word that by most of the public already carries that same definition, and thereby illiminate the chance that people could be scammed by others who use this assumption to their own ends. </p><p><br /></p><p>It doesn&#039;t keep anyone from selling anything, or using the term in any way that they see fit, it only keeps people from being misled by this term within the channels of commerce.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do I want to protect the criminally stupid???? NO! Do I want to eliminate an area that I see people being preyed upon every day that gives our hobby a bad name??? Yes!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
