  2. Hi Dickson,
    Wow, sure looks interesting with so many great numismatic minds getting together and sharing their vast experiences.
    One day, we hope we will be able to join you guys.
    Haha, got to admit we are rather obsessive in our hobbies which at times, have taken too much of our time even with proper time management.
    Haha, times are tough.
    So got to work a little longer and a little harder.
    As a result, we have to tone down most of our hobbies, at least till we are all retirees, haha.
    Hehe, then we would definitely wish that you would be kind enough to allow us to join your group, Dickson.
    Haha, when it comes to talking about hobbies...we would always start our conversations with our non-collector friends by asking how much time they have for us to allow us to explain those hobbies to them.
    Please keep up with the good work, Dickson.
    Hehe, the more the merrier :D
