<p>[QUOTE="Roerbakmix, post: 4549411, member: 100731"]At least once a week, some cointalk member does something nice, which make others exclaim 'you guys are like a family!'. I do agree: members on this forum are (unusually?) nice, friendly, helpful, insightful, humoristic, etc. However, there is a certain anonymity with internet fora, which made me think: how well do we actually know each other?</p><p><br /></p><p>Now this is of course not without reason, and some may like this anonymity (for example, in personal message, I often use my own name, but on the public forum I hesitate to do so), while others use their full name as forum handle. There have been threads (e.g. <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ancients-welcome-the-new-members-post-a-coin-and-a-little-about-yourself.303410/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ancients-welcome-the-new-members-post-a-coin-and-a-little-about-yourself.303410/">this one</a> three years ago) where new members posted some info, or even photos of themselves, and these were fairly popular.

You can post anything about yourself that you want to share - if you don't want to share any private information, that's fine as well, please share some information about your collection or some cool recent acquisitions (but then, please include <i>why</i> you share this specific coin). You can share anything (that is in compliance with Cointalk rules, of course): where do you live, what's your personal life like, do you have any peculiar interests, any hobbies besides coins? Do you have a job? How did you get entangled in this forum, or in the coin collection hobby in general? So, in conclusion, post anything you feel comfortable sharing![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
