[QUOTE="Zzyzzyth, post: 837619, member: 21495"]Sorry, but this is a good opportunity to get something off my chest. Jesse P, here's my take on it: This forum is like playing "Who wants to be a millionaire". Once you've polled the audience, phoned a friend and used your 50/50, you're on your own. After that, you MIGHT get a "Buy a book" response, if at all. Go buy a book, learn it all, then come back and ask questions. But, if you learn it all, you wouldn't have any questions, now would you? My posts have slowly become few and far between, because I get frustrated with being ignored. I have a genuine desire to learn, I have ordered books and am still waiting for the first one to arrive. I'm sure some of these pros get tired of answering the same questions over and over, but think of where our nation would be if our teachers got sick of teaching multiplication and division "over and over". I guess I could go back and read every post since 2002 and see my question answered somewhere, and I do try to search before posting. In the meantime, I have searched maybe a thousand coins, and now I have a pile that I'd like answers to, but am afraid to post here because I end up hitting refresh for hours with no response. So, now I post at a more "newbie" friendly site. Take my advice, find a forum where you can ask these questions, get the answers you seek, and when you can "p*** with the big boys" come back here and "step up to the trough".
