So what is the story with Russ?

His posts per day count is slipping like the San Andreas Fault!

Did he...?

a) get a girlfriend/wife?

b) get a new job that dissallows playing on the puter?

c) realize he has misspent a sizeable chunk of his life?

d) lose his typing fingers in a horrible accident?

    Russ is a smart cookie. He has probably recognized that the return on his time invested here is not all that rewarding. Business is business.

    maybe he lost the ability to drink coffee and type at the same time.

    we all know where his priorities are.

    Last I heard his business was doing so well that he hired someone to drink coffee AND smoke FOR him!

    Now I'm upset that he never even asked me to interview for that position.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    I'm not into the outrageous toners anymore and I don't post threads praising those Battlecreek Morgans any longer so there's really no reason for Russ to 'slam' me anymore with numerous posts. I'm sure this has reduced the number of his posts dramatically.imageimage

    I heard he has his underassistant to his assistant secretary drink the coffee and smoke for him, and also outsourced all of the computer work to Bangalore. He truly is, THE MAN. image

    Don't let it bother you, Kranky. Russ was looking for the right employee to keep wages low.

    Let's see, he got a new HD TV, lot's of coins on E-Bay, and with the economy in the crapper Kent hookers have been having 2 for 1 sales. That about sums it up...
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    ROFLMAO!

    2 for 1 sales will definitely cut into your post-per-day averages! image
    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.

    Alas, I too have had a significant drop in the daily post count.

    Life happens, I guess.
