<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4558207, member: 19463&quot;]Somehow all this reminds me of the regular practice of a business person placing the face of Aunt Jemima, Mrs. Butterworth or Uncle Ben on their packages because few people would buy food packages labeled &quot;Wall Street Conglomerate&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; English speaking collectors, right or wrong, are less likely to buy coins and trust someone whose name is strange to their ears but no one has a problem using the name of a Greek god (I assume without his permission<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).&nbsp; It is wrong that many English speaking people have an inherent distrust of people with whom they do not share a language and relative few of us are even bilingual.&nbsp;&nbsp; When there is a problem with a business transaction, we do hope it can be resolved in a language we understand.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>No one can tolerate hiding the truth with fake contact links.&nbsp; When we see even the slightest hint of deception, the tendency is to think the worst and take our business elsewhere.&nbsp; It takes years to build a good reputation and seconds to destroy one. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The inappropriately named &quot;Ignoramus Maximus&quot; brings up two worthy questions but the one that matters here is not a matter of right or wrong but whether each of us feel comfortable sending money to any business or if we are more comfortable shopping elsewhere.&nbsp; In the US, we often hear, &quot;Innocent until proven guilty&quot; but in matters of money, right or wrong, most of us operate under &quot;Suspect until proven Trustworthy.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>Come to think of it, the majority of us here on CT operate under pseudonyms.&nbsp; I left the last h off mine because my first email only allowed eight letters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
