Support Coin Talk...

I was a supporter once but continuing that got lost in the fog of time.
I need a nudge once in a while.
I'm now a supporter once again.

Oops, now I have a Dealer label too!?
That was the only option that would fit my intent.
I assume one the the monitors can remove that part and leave just the Supporter label.
Please do.

 

Ok, I just signed up as a supporter. Dummy me didn't realize one could be a subscriber. I really enjoy this venue. This is my hobby, I do it for fun.

 

This is business. This way or that way, directly or indirectly, everybody (except erol) here is to make some money. Even those instutions etc around whose titles are "X charity" or "Y philanthropy" etc and people there saying "we are volunteers" are not really volunteers. I mean, yes, they are volunteers, but, not for nothing, they somehow make money indirectly. No, not blaming them, but, this is just a reality.

How do I know these? I know. It is crystal clear.
Those charity philanthropy institutions organizations etc do not care about the one cent, either. They don't accept it as donation.

 

Well said. I am only slightly ashamed that I took so long to figure out what was going on and to contribute a little bit. If you guys need more help, just ask.

 

Then, we can call it "business failure", can't we? If yours' and Peter's goal were not to lose money by running this website, it was to make money like any businesses including charity business. Ok, maybe, this site is not for business at all, just for hobby. In this case, those people here who make some money directly or indirectly by using this site can contribute. Sorry, I won't support, I am here for purely non-profit reason, am not here for any money, well, except one cent, but, anyway, you people here don't count it as money.

 

And I was hoping I had just been in the dark all of these times and the check was in the mail. But then I might miss all of the posts that tell me how bad my interpretation of the rules happen to be and I would be so lonely

 

I see you do so. So, Peter gave up helping people? I don't see him around, got lost in the darkness or in the coin details? or perhaps just waiting with a hammer in the hand?

 

Jim, you (and the other mods as well, are all great people and you do a heck of a job here and often receiving only grief for payment. But I am here to set a record straight. You, Jim, SPECIFICALLY YOU, are the subject of this post.

You do a fantastic job helping people and helping to keep the peace.

You can be a bit strict at times, but fair. We have not always seen eye to eye, but over the years we have both grown and I know that personally, I have a ton of respect for you, and have grown to really appreciate your insights and knowledge on many complex subjects. You speak with measure and intelligence, and you are a great asset to this forum. I like you, personally.

I think that every once in a while it needs to be said so that people realize how they're thought of in a community, because it is that all too seldom that people say what they really feel. You deserve praise and acknowledgement. It's unfortunate that it serves as the only pay you receive, and it's worse that you don't get more.

The forum is a better place because you're here and because you dedicate so much to it.

Just sayin...

 

Erol, you are sounding like someone who asks a stranger for lunch and then asks them to serve it to you. You do happen to be here , posting long erratic posts on a one trick subject FOR FREE on a forum Peter formed to help people who wish to know about a variety of topics. You could elaborate on many of the numismatics of your country from ancients to modern and maybe interest others instead of continuing you current path. I am only serving because of Peter and Doug and the support of many members that enables so many to learn more. It gives me pride to know these 2 men , even if just by written communication. Peter also sacrifices for other educational forums he supports financially such as the Stampexchange.com and others. Reconsider your approach. Take care. Jim

 

Gee thanks Mike, I really was trying to be funny, I am not that type of pity-poster
You are a large asset to the learning process here, and we are all continuing to "grow up" as we meet people who are more knowledgeable than ourselves. Keep up the good work. Time for me to take off for my evening Human Anatomy class....I give back tests tonight

 

Thank you for everything you do! I appreciate this site and the people who keep it runnning!

Tell me how much I owe you @desertgem - I will NOT pay @Peter T Davis , I'll pay you - for my 1 "erratic" thread in 298,390 "non-erratic" threads...

Btw, that 1 Thread by @ErolGarip has 432 posts and 12295 views (29 views/post) in 75 days (164 views/day, which looks like one of most frequently viewed threads on the whole forum.)

I do not give/take anything for FREE. All is for ONE CENT.

If you do NOT like the 1 cent, you can close and delete this 1 thread and this last 1 post.

Have a good day and work.

 

Free beer, tomorrow.

 

No Free beer is on the second tuesday, not the first one in the week

 

Pah, I'm a senior citizen here. Have been around here since 17 Sep 2002. And I have not received a single check from CT since then. OK, we do not really use checks around here anyway, but I would have taken coins as well of course.

I have received a few pieces from Coin Talk members however ... but that you know anyway. Thank you.

Christian

 

Was it the unit on Proctology, or do you only have to deal with that here?
