<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 6439157, member: 84179&quot;]Why does it bother me?&nbsp; Let me tell you!</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe it&#039;s important that CT gives accurate information to new collectors.&nbsp; They hear one thing from you and something else from most of the other members and have no idea which is right.&nbsp; They don&#039;t know you from Fred Weinberg. IMO it just adds confusion.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is nothing wrong with you answering posts.&nbsp; In fact, please continue.&nbsp; Just make sure you know what you&#039;re talking about.&nbsp; This isn&#039;t the first time you&#039;ve done this.&nbsp; Take the time to give the absolute best information to new members, even if it means doing a little research before posting (I frequently do this). And if you&#039;re not sure but still feel the need to respond, just qualify it with a &quot;best guess&quot; comment.&nbsp; You&#039;ll build a lot more credibility by posting correct information than you will posting the wrong info.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not trying to pick on you, just trying to help you learn and grow. I started in this hobby when I was young and was running small ads in Coins magazine and other publications when I was your age.&nbsp; I remember how I was treated by some of those &quot;Old Guys&quot; at the local coin clubs and coin shops and it wasn&#039;t nice.&nbsp; Make sure you&#039;re building your numismatic credibility, not ruining it by giving incorrect info and then acting like it&#039;s no big deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion for you to think about.&nbsp; Others may disagree, but I&#039;m only trying to help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
