[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3064738, member: 10461"]I would think there is some truth to that. Both. First you get drafted (i.e., invited/appointed). [I] Then[/I] you volunteer. That's nuts. Sounds like a great way for a forum to sabotage itself. Yes. "[I]You're drafted![/I]" was the actual title line and the "draft" was real enough (albeit worded in a tongue-and-cheek manner) but obviously I was given some say in the matter. Actually, not a bad approach. Appeal to one's patriotic duty as a CoinTalker. Sorta like the old WW1 [URL='https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Unclesamwantyou.jpg']Uncle Sam poster[/URL] (or [URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Kitchener_Wants_You']Lord Kitchener[/URL], to you Brits). Only the entity pointing at [I]me[/I] to enlist had both the hat AND the mustache. And when you're pointed at by an otherwise-invisible entity wearing a gangster 'stache, shades, and a Crocodile Dundee-style hat with teeth from dinosaurs he [I]personally[/I] slew, well ... then you listen to what he has to say. ;)[/QUOTE]
