Goodbye Everyone.....

Not bad news- it's GREAT news.

I want to genuinely thank every member who I've had the good fortune of crossing paths with. Even those who I've butted heads with, have provided perspective I couldn't get in any other way.

I'm working on a project that will put real examples of die varieties in the hands of EVERYONE who truly has a desire to learn. No tricks or gimmicks. Just the ultimate "hard copy" of Die Varieties. Chose any vernacular that you want. Ultimately, being able to see the real McCoy is the only what to know it.

With that said- I'm going to be putting the hours a day that I spent butting heads with a few people, insisting they see my perspective, while too busy to listen to theirs....well, I'll be putting this energy into what I hope will change how people perceive our hobby.

I want to make understanding and confidence available to all who seek it. To do this, I'm going to be depending on a network of forum friends as well as friends in several different areas of the E/V world.

If things go as I hope, this idea will spread like wildfire. I've got all the help lined up that I believe I need, and others who are eager to get involved.

I plan to start out my baby small, slowly cultivated and carefully tended.

In a certain amount of time, near future, not decades away- I hope to see ALL of us in a world where knowledge is shared freely. And generously. And without expectation. SIMPLY FREE- because nobody should "OWN" Knowledge.

Please don't take this the wrong way- I simply believe a coin not shared is not enjoyed.

I know that as a novice picker, you're always questioning yourself until you come across your first decent RPM. THEN- it's like a light goes off, a very bright light.

From that point on- That picker has no hesitation or doubt about what he's after.

With that frame of mind, this is what I'll be expending my energy on.

My detractors will say "We'll see....."
My friends will say "We WILL see it"
Ultimately, you'll know it when you start to see it.

I've written this post to explain my extended "RADIO SILENCE"-

I'll be selling on my ebay sites and the like, but instead of typing for hours, I plan on working on this project for hours a day, showing that actions truly are louder than words.

Don't mis-understand- I'll still be around, relaxing at the end of the day, reading what's up with my friends in the E/V forum.

But if I break radio silence, you can rest assured that I've lost direction in my goals.

I'm not writing this post to elicit discussion.

I am giving an explanation to the many, many, many forum friends I've met in just the last few months. I'm now different for having viewed your perspective, and I see and act differently as a result.

Thank you for being my friends and always a place to exude passion...
