Where do you come up with a 1000:1 ratio? And if it's getting under your skin so badly, maybe you need to take a clonazapam every now and then. Maybe it would be easier for you to just pass by these threads and not bash them. Error/variety collecting is NOT a tiny, tiny sliver of this hobby, It's alive and doing very well and has been since I started in the 60's. If not for folks like Ken Potter, John Wexler, Brian Ribar, Fred Weinberg and many others we all would not know nearly as much as we do today. And not every newbie has the finances to go out and buy a library of books when they are first getting their feet wet. Hence, the websites, all of them, are a very valuable resource that is absolutely free to use and persue in leisure. The whole reason for this reputable site is to help everyone who asks it of us. And as was said above, this is not your personal website. It belongs to all of us who are helpful, respectful and willing to pass our accumulated along on. Try to have a little more respect for those with less knowledge than you. And remember, there was a time when you knew nothing about this hobby also.
