My name is keets and I know who I am, though it's a myth that I know it all!!! I actually only know a little but take great solace from that fact. Would you care to tell us who you are and how much you know as the search for the Realone who knows it all continues??

    I know even less and came to little of it through study.

    Hi I'm Dog97. They call me BullDog in the real world. I know everything about what I need to know. If I don't know it then it's because I don't need to know it.
    I'm a man of few words cause I'm ex-Army & 30 year construction worker and I never needed a flowery vocabulary or sissy big words to get my point across.
    Those of you that know me in the real world know that I'm big, ugly & mean with long hair, beard & tattoos cause I'm a biker and you don't want to mess with me, so don't.

    I have also been 'collecting' coins over 45 years.
