Unfortunately, self regulation of questionable topics on this board doesn't work. There are at most 125-150 people who read Greg's board but only 10 regular contributors and another 25-50 who post less frequently. The majority of those who read the posts don't post because of what you bring up, many of the posts are inconsequential and have little to do with chipping.
I occasionally post and try to keep questions and topics in-check. But I have received more private emails from NON members asking WHY they should join this club. Remember, of the nearly 2500 members, only a small fraction of those post here and voice their opinions on every topic. There is good information here but don't let the people on this board give you any indication of the membership overall and the words in print as the final TRUTH.
Obviously the board is an open forum for anyone to type whatever they feel or voice an opinion. But why would anyone write or type something they would NEVER say to anyone's face?
For those of you who abuse this fabulous forum, how about using a bit more discretion in your posts! This cyber litter is getting a bit much. For as much negativity we endure daily, I don't want to read it here.

The club is a fabulous way to meet people, including a majority that are off-line. You will find many people who share your collecting interests and share your passion. Good luck, and I hope we see you as a member!
