...or infrequent posters. After playing around in the archived threads and the old
boards for a while it became apparent that there are a lot of people who stay very
current, but don't post. Saw lots of names I didn't recognize with recent last visited
dates. A couple were today.
It would be great to see them come back to posting since some of the posts were
very good.

The old days threads were quite lively as I remember.
Ah the good ol days.
Here is an oldie that addressed that issue.
and it sets us apart from practitioners and consultants. Gregor
and going back looking. Some of these guys could hardly be described as
newbies. Several did seem to be mostly modern collectors though. I gave
most of them ratings of "ten".
"The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' declares the LORD GOD Almighty."
Camera takes lousy pics, scanner scans slabs blurry and I'm not to knowledgeable to offer any opinoins except for a "nice coin- - or great pic". I'm just good at asking opinions or comments. Finally getting back into collecting after many years off.
I think the below paragraph sums up this boards for me. This was a email I sent to a fellow board member who was nice enough to help me out with a question I had.
<<Thanks again for all the info.
I read the boards everyday and I'm glad there are so
many knowledgeable people out there(like yourself) who
are happy to share what they know. They might not
realize it but I'm sure there are a lot of people(like
me) who just read away, learn, and have saved money
from making buying mistakes which makes the hobby more
enjoyable.>>
Again thanks all,

I think Bear is making fun of me, (Or at least the way most people wind up spelling my name, "Condor")

I agree however if they are lurking because they don't have anything to contribute, they should stay lurking. My suspicions are that most
of them have something to contribute.
(I think contributions can be termed as multi-faceted - entertainment, humor, personal attacks with tongue firmly in cheek are all
contributions - in addition to other non-traditional contributions - to making this place a cool place to be, so don't think you have to be a
numismatic guru to contribute......at least in my book.)
One guy i'd like to see post more often is Greg Bingham. He's a neat guy who has some really cool coins and has been around quite a while.
I'd also like to see Greg, Jim and Steve post more. Jahearthat? (Although i understand why they don't - if David and Carol would kick a few
of the "right" people off the board, we'd probably have a few more gurus posting. Non-tongue in cheek personal attacks can grow
very wearisome.)

No. After a period of inactivity - 15 minutes I believe - the forum software shows you as logged off.

Lurking with intent to loom
If you don't do it when you get to it,
You'll never get to it to do it again.
I tend to stick with lurking these days because most of the posts are about board politics, slabbing, and environmentally damaged silver (read: toned), all subjects I'd rather stay quiet about. When I do see Lincoln cent related posts I generally kick in my two cents worth, but those threads are rather uncommon.
lurk mode = on;

The Cleveland Centennial is an interesting coin. At first look it looks like Cleveland is getting stabbed by a spear or an arrow. Actually its a compass needle pointing to Cleveland. Reminds me of the Ohio state quarter where at first glance it looks like the astronaut has been hanged. Must be an Ohio thing.
