Whatever floats your boat......(comments are NOT needed....just something to ponder)

................but can we be respectfully disagree without imposing un-realistic numbers of 'disagrees' just because you can ? :s
The feature was intended for use in the spirit of discussion (I love one particular member would just type in disagree rather than lift the finger).
It may be good for those who are fond of this practice to stop & reflect........perhaps rescind some :#
There's never a good thing cultivating discontent with unjustified resentments toward any of our fellow members :/
unless it is the only source to float your boat :'(
PEACE ON

    Neat silver medal. It says "1.000 GR AG 999". Assuming GR stands for grams, can we assume it's a very small medal or that it's a large medal with heavy silver plating?

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    That's true. If so, it's definitely silver plated since that's a tiny amount of silver.

    As the all-time recipient (so-far) of disagrees from stalkers, in cases like this, I recommend the member contact the moderators so the disagreeable folks can be watched and warned for their behavior.

    If the source is European "1.000" is one thousand. "1,000 g" is actually ONE gram while "1.000 g" is a thousand grams
