<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 552571, member: 11521&quot;]T$,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You need to take a chill pill. Seriously. TEN replies to my post border on a temper tantrum. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Like Lehigh said, your comment was ambiguous and I misinterpreted what you were trying to say. I thought you were saying Saint Gaudens COINS had the words Saint Gaudens on them. How was I to know you meant the slab, not the coin? Read your post again and perhaps you will see the ambiguity.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>OK, first thing you say is &quot;1907 Saint?&quot; Here you are clearly talking about the COIN (or so it seems to me). Next you proclaim the coin to be a fake. (I assume you are still talking about the COIN here.) Then you say, &quot;I thought all said ST Gaudens on them.&quot; Are you still talking about the COINS or did you somewhere shift gears to start talking about SLABS? If you changed to SLABS you failed to let anyone know of the change. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>THAT is why I thought you were saying the COINS had St Gaudens on them. I think most reasonable people would have reached the same conclusion based on the way you wrote your post. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Remember this - YOU may know what you mean to say when you write something but someone reading the piece only has your words to read. If your written words are ambiguous someone reading them may interpret them in a way you did not intend. When someone misinterprets another person&#039;s written word the blame lies with the writer, not the reader. If you would take a few extra seconds to read over your posts and make them unabiguous you will 1) avoid situations like this where someone misinterprets what you are saying and 2) make a better impression because your written words will not be ambiguous.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That is some excellent advice from Lehigh. Most CoinTalk members respect QUALITY over QUANTITY. That goes for coins as well as posts on the board. At the moment you are averaging 29.45 posts per day. You will gain more respect by concentrating on the QUALITY of your posts rather than the QUANTITY.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
