<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2743845, member: 71723&quot;].</p><p>Okay, let me give YOU a little history.</p><p><br /></p><p>1) I never gave a (...) about any online anything concerning coins or numismatics, and I&#039;m beginning to wonder strongly why I ever changed that.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) Randomly after ANA 2014, I became BOMBARDED with random emails to check out &quot;CoinTalk&quot;. Okay, I looked.</p><p><br /></p><p>3) What I saw appalled me. More misinformation and disinformation and outright lies about factual things I knew of FIRST HAND that happened at 2014 ANA Chicago and the gold Kennedy debacle. Obviously this CoinTalk thing needed a dose of reality.</p><p><br /></p><p>4) It. Still. Does.</p><p><br /></p><p>5) I absolutely HATE, HATE , HATE, the personality type of poker players, all gamblers really, now that I think about it. My first ex-wife turned out to be a chain smoking casino rat, okay?</p><p><br /></p><p>6) I teach also. I have given now 7 Numismatic Theater/Money Talks presentations and I am hoping to be selected for my 8th this summer.</p><p><br /></p><p>7) I have volunteered in service to the ANA over and over and over again. I have an app called &quot;App In The Air&quot; that chronicles my coin travel to MAJOR shows (mostly ANA, a coupla FUN) just since 2014, and it doesn&#039;t include the frequent &quot;fly there, take Amtrak home&quot; mileage. It shows 17,199 miles flown and 50 hours in the air, ALL AT MY EXPENSE, to give talks at shows, plus other activities.</p><p><br /></p><p>7a) I don&#039;t do that to make money, sell anything, or to &quot;SUPPLEMENT MY INCOME&quot;. I do it because I&#039;m invited to do it presumably because the ANA likes my stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>Are. We. Clear?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
