Stkp (Steve)
I am honored by Joe/Quadrans' nomination, but don't feel that my level of participation on the boards justifies the honor. I am continuously in awe of those of my colleagues who have the knowledge to contribute as much and as often as they do. I do what I can, but there is (unfortunately) a limited number of posts involving medieval Hungarian and Elymaian coinage, which are the principal areas in which I can make meaningful contributions. Still, should others disagree with my self-assessment and wish to second the nomination, I'll be pleased to provide my full name. Steve
