<< <i>To those wanting a giveaway, I give to you the knowledge gained from almost 16000 posts.
I give it to you each and everytime I see a post asking for help, if I have garnered that knowledge, I give it to you freely.
I give the knowledge of who to tweak on the boards, and how, as well
I give to you the fact that children really are our future and anytime you get a kid who is interested, don't push them too much, but do encourage them. A well-mannered kid, enjoying numismatics (or any other hobby where they learn and are interested) is really cool....and so many of you guys are really, really, really, REALLY old anyway, so we need more young'uns >>
I'll take the above over a giveaway ANY DAY!!! Thanks Bochiman!!!! >>
Brie, the unselfishness you posted......well, PM sent. Remember to make sure it is ok with your parents.
Cladking....he does need a title.....and a light bulb just went off in my head. He needs a title, people want a giveaway....how about he gives away the 'naming rights' and chooses the best suggestion from names submitted by other forum members??? Or is that too dangerous??? What say YOU, Bochiman? Ya feelin' lucky? lol
And, just wanted to close this out.....I decided to do a quiet "giveaway" for the 16,000 thread/post. I will let the recipient mention it if they want but, while I was reading the responses to this thread, I came across a post that I decided I liked better than any I could imagine in any type of contest.
It was a post that had not one iota of selfishness in it and one that made my (fatherly) heart make the decision.
So, I am sure everyone has forgotten about this anyway, but, if any did wonder and thought I was just sloughing it all off, I wasn't. I just didn't want to say anything until the person received the items.
I would just like to say that my YN (Brie13) was the recipient of Bochiman's generousity (two raw roosevelt dimes, an ANACS AU rosie, a 1968 PCGS MS65 red penny, and a 1968 PCGS proof 69 nickel - like I said VERY GENEROUS). I have always stressed how much the members here help each other out and how much I continue to learn every time I log onto the boards. Obviously this has not been lost on her and I am sure she will learn lots to broaden her horizons in numismatics. Again, BMan, thanks for your kindness, but most of all the knowledge you give!!

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
I knew it would happen.
Congrats Bochi.
