<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3206871, member: 19463&quot;]I believe that too many new questions suffer from failure to these two of the TIF points.&nbsp; Proper images can allow us to refine our replies so they are not just wild guesses. Fuzzy photos will get fuzzy guesses or just ignored because we might well decide that we need not put more care into the matter than you did.&nbsp; This is also the situation with the point asking what you have done so far.&nbsp; Some questions will require some effort to answer.&nbsp; The more sincere effort you have shown, the more likely that someone here will take up the challenge of finding the answer.&nbsp; About half of the questions asked here can be answered with little difficulty by one of the CT regulars.&nbsp; The question is whether you want to encourage effort on the less than obvious questions.&nbsp; There is nothing that makes some of us more interested in helping you than a feeling that you have at least tried to help yourself and might, someday, be willing to help the next wave of new collectors with similar questions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
