Think that may help them in any manner if they have bigger goals in the ANA hierarchy? Food for thought.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no problem with encouraging new collectors. Been known to give away a coin or two myself or help a kid pay for a coin that he wants in a shop when he&#039;s a few bucks short and really wants that coin. That is called the kindness of strangers.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve met ANA &quot;higher ups&quot; at shows on occasion. They look at your name tag then pretend they know you. Just like any &quot;good&quot; politician would.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>GDJMSP questions why anyone would leave as you can&#039;t change it if you&#039;re not a member. Good point and taken here. Thing is I don&#039;t want to waste my time trying to change them so why should I pay out a yearly fee to participate?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not here to bash the ANA. I originally said they have their strong points because they do. My experience with them was just that it was not worth my while or my money. I also stated that at some point I may join again.</p><p><br /></p><p>Different strokes for different folks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
