Here is what one of the more "astute" members of this board felt the need to email me at my residence:

Hello Mike,
You have been collecting for five weeks, and you know it all. Since you know
so much but have no money to buy strikes. I can help you, with a few tips to
get some money. You could stand on a street corner and ask for money or
collect cans instead of silver strikes. Don't come into a story at the end,
you don't know what your talking about.
Ron

For those who do not know, I am by no means hard up for money, in fact, live comfortably off both a trust fund established for me, as well as my salary as a federal agent with the Taxation department. Further, the comments I make, are based up on my experiences and opinions. On a final note, you will see that there are NO spelling errors in my post, as I not only pride myself on my spelling, but feel that after 7 years of university, I can at least spell correctly too!
