<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1916D10C, post: 3180024, member: 97585&quot;]You, and apparently everybody else, took something intended to be a farce situation, and me merely being facetious, and completely bent it out of proportion as though I was discrediting them and their knowledge. I apologized and clarified what I was saying. I thought this hobby and forum was supposed to be fun and enjoyable, not a board verging on an almost political atmosphere, which is how this feels to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>You know what, I really don’t think I need to post here anymore, nor do I even have a desire to. This reminds me of one of the many reasons why I took a 4 year hiatus from numismatics, and I don’t wish to develop another bad taste in my mouth for a passion I have had for as long as I can remember. The older generation so quickly loves to point out how much more they know and fails to realize my generation (or the few that even participate) are the ones carrying this hobby into the coming generations. The same people discrediting younger folks in the hobby, merely on age alone, are also the ones complaining that the hobby is dying. I have studied coins seriously for a decade now and will continue to. Granted, as has been pointed out, you all know far more than me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take care guys. If I need numismatic knowledge or insight, I will simply get in touch privately with the people I personally know and respect in this field, rather than post on the open forum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
