<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 2719426, member: 84179&quot;]As with any group, some members are more helpful than others.&nbsp; I understand that there may be new members that are alienated and don’t return, but I also see newer members, who have picked up a lot of knowledge (based the types of questions they ask and their responses to others).&nbsp; When I respond to an obvious hobby newbie, I try to start out with “Sorry, but your coins is …… and has no value”.&nbsp; I’ve also noticed in many instances where someone has been obviously condescending to a genuinely new member (not you Rare-Tim), others have jumped in to be helpful.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW:&nbsp; Even though paddyman98’s response is terse, the links are a great resource for new collectors.&nbsp; If his response is so offensive that they become discouraged, then maybe it’s for the best IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
