<p>[QUOTE=&quot;omahaorange, post: 2774462, member: 28199&quot;]FYI, I&#039;ve been out of high school longer than you&#039;ve been alive.&nbsp; It was an analogy, nothing more.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure where you get this.&nbsp; Nobody asked you to be &quot;humbled&quot; in anybody&#039;s presence, no one is &quot;talking down&quot; to you, and no one has asked you to &quot;bow down&quot; to them.</p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;I don&#039;t conform to the Rules Table&quot; may have been fine back in the day, but now that we&#039;ve entered adulthood, sometimes not conforming to the rules has its consequences.</p><p><br /></p><p>The issue, at least for me,was that you asked what amounted to a simple yes/no question, and got a basic yes/no answer.&nbsp; If you needed further clarification, you could have asked another question, being more specific about what additional information you were looking for.&nbsp; Instead, you chose to respond with sarcasm, that some of us didn&#039;t really understand (after all, he answered your question).&nbsp; Can the responder in question post &quot;cynical answers of what it is and delivery is a bit obnoxious&quot;?&nbsp; Sure he can, but if you read some of the questions, you&#039;d realize a lot of those posts are people with the next greatest numismatic find that these &quot;veteran&quot; collectors know to be BS, trolls if you will.&nbsp; However, his answer to your question in this thread was direct and to the point, yet you, for some reason, chose to respond with a cutting remark.&nbsp; If you want to question or comment on some of his more sinister posts, by all means do so, in the threads in which those posts were made.&nbsp; Why bring up past indiscretions when it appears he was only trying to help and answer your question.</p><p><br /></p><p>You remind me of some of the new employees at my job.&nbsp; The job attracts a lot of big egos, and it shows when they talk.&nbsp; What does a guy like me, with almost 34 years of experience in that job, do?&nbsp; I simply roll my eyes and walk away from these would-be heroes.&nbsp; Been there, done that, does have some clout.&nbsp; Nobody&#039;s asking you to bow and scrape, but as a newbie, maybe show a little more respect for the more experienced posters here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
