...kind of like the Q&A forum...(at least it would be active...)

just curious...

    I like Longacre's questions. They should stay where they are.

    Now...now...I understand that this coin collecting stuff is a very serious matter...

    ...this was just a little "wry humor"... also known as "tongue-in-cheek"...



    Longacre is undoubtably the most inquisitive fellow I know of... just having a little fun after noticing that at one point this afternoon, almost half (well maybe not half) of the 1st page was populated with questions by him.

    ...see...now I had to go and explain the "joke" to you and you are probably still ruffled...image

    I like Longacre's questions and the fact that I have to go to the dictionary almost every day to look up the big wordsimage almost like being a member of the book of the night clubimage

    Has anyone wondered that Mrs. Longacre might be looking over Longacre's shoulder when he posts to this web site?

    Perhaps all his questions here might be a self-survival technique that Longacre has? (think household chores or going out on the town in the usual tuxedo) image

    Longacre to make it short, is like an institution.

    Longacre's questions, observations and insights are just fine where they are. They and the responses certainly add a great deal to the PCGS forum.

    Good idea...it would save me the trouble of searching for his posts!

    Ya know... I'm sure the image I get of Longacre is not quite correct... yet I'll share it anyway... image


    ...I picture a distinguished country gentleman, sitting in his nicely appointed study, faithful dog (a setter perhaps) sitting at his feet... sipping on a cognac and fiddling with an old, very used pipe...

    ...scouring the internet for all the Numismatic Knowledge he can find... contemplating the meaning of it all and firing off these wonderful questions many have never even thought to ask...

    ...all the while...Mrs. Longacre parades in and out...displaying her "newest finds" from the finest shoppes... he looks and nods in approval... pets his faithful dog and continues his never-ending search... for "Truth, Justice and the Numismatic Way"...

    You are only encouraging him with this thread.

    Didn't anyone ever tell you that lawyers share common properties with gas: in that they will expand to whatever size container you put them in? Give a lawyer thirty minutes to argue, every last minute is taken. Give Longacre his own forum, crash the forum server. image

    A separate forum? No . But .... is there such a category as 'Overposting'?
    Perhaps if one exceeds the boards parameters , the overposter is
    requested to send each reader a coin in their collecting realm
    in Fine condition . This would cut down the 'questions' by an overposter,
    and allow others to peruse the boards with more efficiency.
    This may not be a solution , but at least a starting off point.
    Thank you all for mis(understanding)

    Hey SeaEagle, did you ever think Longacre may feel banished from the forum because of you??

    I for one, have noticed no replies from the Longster to your semi-sarcastic thread....image

    Are you OK with this?? image

    Sorry, just saw the Long Man mentioned his better half..............all is good!!! image
