Didya miss me?

BarryBarry Posts: 10,100 ✭✭✭
Hi everyone,
Just got back from a 2 week trip to Europe. After 3 planes and about 16 hours of flying, transfers, etc, I only got about 3 hours of sleep last night and woke up at 3 AM EDT (10 AM EEST).

Can anyone summarize anything noteworthy that happened in the last couple of weeks? (I heard about the ACG lawsuit news already) With about 600 emails to wade through, there's no way I'll have time to go through old postings.
Thanks,
Barry

    Barry, I noticed your absence and assumed your were on vacation. The first couple weeks of summer is always a popular time to travel.

    Here are what I consider to be the top 5 stories/threads of the last two weeks:

    1. K6az was banned for poasting private (technically, public) personal information about ssCamaro.
    2. MrEureka posted a series of 16 or so interesting hypothetical customer-dealer scenario threads which tweaked Eric (k6az), which sparked the feud between Eric and Doug.
    3. Legend purchased the Eliasberg 1913 Liberty nickel
    4. A lot of old classic threads and old topics were revived with varying success
    5. There was a thread on Wannabes.

    If you had signed up for the coin image contest, it has been put on hold.

    RYK - Thanks for the summary
    Pharmer - Yes, I already submitted my coin pic. That's a shame...

    COINS, COINS, we need to see Euro COINS!

    You really want to see Euro coins? Isn't that OT here?
    I put together a complete set of Unc Euros when they were first issued. They get ugly with wear, and they do wear quickly, apparently.

    Barry where'd ya go?

    1. Macedonia - to represent the US in:

    2. Greece - part of the deal with the wife, so I could do #1 image

    Did you visit any coin shops?
    Any pics?


    No coin shops. Pics - about 200. Here are a couple:
    First one is where we stayed - Hotel Deseret on Lake Ohrid. Lake Ohrid reminds me of an undeveloped Lake Tahoe. It's at about 2500 ft elevation and surrounded by mountains. The lake is the second oldest in the world (first is Lake Baikal) and one of the deepest, as well.

    We took a 30 minute boat ride to the Sveti Naum Monastery, built in the 10th century, located right on the border of Macedonia and Albania. Sveti (Saint) Naum was the successor to Cyril, the founder of the Cyrillic alphabet. Here's a pic, with it's resident peacock:

    RYK-

    That was a really good summary. I have an idea. You should write a weekly summary of important events on the board, and then we can just read THAT image
