Closed society? Nope, it's open to all who....Barbed wire? nothing bad about that

number one...all you closed society types need to revisit the definition of a society...a group of people with a common purpose who band together, make rules to govern their group and promise to live by those rules. those that are not willing to abide by the rules of the society are no longer members of that group and are normally called criminals. IF YOU WANT TO BELONG, THEN FOLLOW THE RULES. OTHERWISE WE HAVE CHAOS. As for the barbed wire, ever hear the statment "that strong fences make for good neighbors"? I come to this site to enjoy the stories of others who have found that coin, or have a new collection that they are proud of and want to share the pictures etc. I don't come here to have various ones try to sell me something, or use this as a forum to promote this or that group of hot items that I should buy, I got ebay for that. As to Ron, I also was a founding member of his site and I am very grateful that he has it. something like it was needed in my opinion. But let's leave this site as what it is...and stop trying to change it into something it's not. that way maybe more people will enjoy

OK...my four cents worth (inflation)
