Coins and taxes

Assuming that everyone on the board is anonymous, who here reports their coin sales properly on thier tax returns (i.e., items sold at a capital gain or capital loss), or do you not report at all? This question is for those that are not in the trade or business of being a dealer (I assume they report their ordinary gains and losses properly). Just curious.

    All I would ever report is a loss so I'm sure Uncle Sam would be quite pleased that I don't report. Besides, when it comes to hobby vs. hobby business there is a difference.
