For example, his thread about him getting outbid at the recent Heritage auction of a DCAM early silver Kennedy has generated lots of replies, some quite spirited (to put it lightly

1. He is smart
2. He is respected
for his knowledge
3. He is forthright in his statements
4. He backs up his assertions
with sound reasons and facts
rather then merely opinions.
5.On a good day, he is somewhat likable.

I agree with everything except number 5 , only kidding.
He know his stuff and I have learned a great deal reading his post.
Truly if Russ, Longacre, LeeG and others quit posting we would have nothing to do. They keep the board alive. It's a tough job but someone has to do it.

I agree 100%

Try it in a crowded bar someday.
Russ has no clue how many babes he has scored for me
Most here know who he is so they are more likely to click on the thread when his name appears.
No one here knows more about early Kennedy's
One of the better photographers using point and shoot
Many reasons for people to join in his threads.
Go Russ!
Apropos of the coin posse/aka caca: "The longer he spoke of his honor, the tighter I held to my purse."
<< <i>1) he has over 60,000 posts and that is just on this board since they started counting
2) he has 15 computers and the same # of alts, he kind of looks like DR Evil in a good way
3) he does help out a lot and he definitely know his stuff I will give him that but he is too c@cky and a know it all even thought he knows it all
4) he has be a pain in MY arse since I joined
5) he is odd looking so people are naturally curious
6) he takes this stuff way too seriously
7) I guess some like it when I bust his chops but never seem to get any where because he has such a big following and often right
8) he is too quick with his fingers on the mouse/keyboard if thats what he uses on the mouse/keyboard
9) he is has a temper that is only tempered with a hot looking JFK, he likes pretty older men
10) what can I say, when he busts my chops which is regularly I take it for a while and then I have to have some fun with the funny looking old bald man that obviously has a leg up on me here, big deal, he really needs help, he needs a life and you are all just using him, hey maybe he is using yahall too.
He needs to be a tad more humble, coins are nice company but I can think of better things to do on a Saturday night my friends
You forgot to say that his avatar is cooler than yours. I mean, who can take A.E. Neumann very seriously? Now, a smiley face flipping you off behind a Kennedy - that's the shizzmit.

when one realizes just how
wonderful they are.Thus, to
be humble is to crumble.
To be timid is to be a wuss
To be apologetic is to be weak.
To be nice, is for mice.
To be contrite, means your sphincter
is up tight.
To be polite, is too boring.
To be nice, is lacking spice.

He's like double-click.
He gets a commission per reply.
Like a double agent, he's on the HRH payroll to generate board traffic.
He does a good job at it as well.
**tongue firmly planted in cheek on the above**
He's one of the good guys.
It's a shame he lives so many thousands of miles from where I'm at.
Otherwise, I'd stalk him and learn a few things. Do business with him as well.
I want an inside on when he's going to sell silver.

I agree with old bear 100%. Russ has helped me lots of times with various issues, especially regarding JFK's. Although I've never met him, he strikes me as a "what you see is what you get" type of person-which is refreshing nowadays.

So I took this to task and started an already Poofed! thread on the US Coin Forum. I just posted ...Russ... in the title of the thread and posted a coin and gone...in minutes. Maybe I should have posted something more gushing? There was no malice, just an experiment.
So my conclusion is: ...Russ... in the thread is not an instant 10-response (at least for me).

Kissing ass comes to mind.
