  This is better suited for the q&a forum! Lol!

  Most people post their questions on this forum. You are right-a Q&A forum is not needed. I never even check it.

  The fact that no one, except management, is permitted to post any responses severely limits its usefulness. I have clicked on there once and found an interesting question that I posted over here and opened up for discussion.

  Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

  A better use for that space would be a Forum for young numismatists, IMO.

  Most likely, it was a good idea that isn't used anymore because a small minority tends to abuse it by inputting rude remarks, debating the answer, or monopolizing the board, for example

  There used to be a weekly Q & A session with HRH. Now it seems to be a weakly thing.

  When David Hall and Ron Guth were in charge, the Q & A Forum was regularly responded too.
  
  However, as you know, things have changed over the years and IMO, the Q & A Forum should just go bye bye and be replaced with a Modern Coins Forum.

  I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
