I have tried! It is rarer than a rare chip that a positive post is appreciated. I know not everyone responds to every post they read but why then are the ones where some bickering can be started nearly always responded to? I am sure many do read posts & enjoy them but many of us seem to feel the other way.

I feel I should just stay off.
I am sure many will be happy to hear my new stand.

I will put my energy towards writing more for our National Clubs newsletter. I do write with Steve Wells the "Market Report". So far amazingly we have had less than a dozen even mention that they read it. We feel we can let collectors know what is really happening with the market & new finds, or more chips being found of old finds. I wish some would write or call us to give us info. Most is learned on ebay & networking with 4 of the hobbies larger colletors who buy chips regularly.

I posted that everyone should write something about the show. Let the promoters know what a great job they do & how much we appreciate having a show to go to. In those articles write about the good time you had & interesting experiences. Others who miss the show will want to attend next time.

Why aren't your educational articles reproduced in the magazine?

By writting for the magazine it gives all members a chance to read it. On the board only the few hundred on here see it if they click on your post.
