<p>[QUOTE="TomCorona, post: 652382, member: 17621"]Jim</p><p> Removing an appendix and coin "cleaning" are hardly the same but I get your point. Nothing wrong with experienced collectors giving their opinion. I will forever be learning and appreciate and benefit from them. Lighting a cigar using acetone? Ok...so I guess that's the mentality this forum needs to be geared to put out information? One extreme to the other..neither really an accurate analogy, and I don't know if there really is one. Nothing wrong again, with opinions. I enjoy them, as I do most of yours. I guess I get tired of reading "warning...warning" on all clean posts, perhaps as much as some of the posters get tired of posting the repititive information, and then still really offer anything other than what basically amounts to their opinion. I guess I'll offer an analogy..It's like when you want simple instructions on how to hook up a simple piece of home entertainment equipment...I just want to know how to turn the damn thing on hook it up..not the 80 million "warning electric shock can occur" or, "this unit complies with FCC blah blah blah.." or "watch out for lightning" and "don't rub your feet on the carpet" and on and on and on of continuing paragraphs and sub paragraphs, addendums, of non-relevant information (in 5 different languages). That may not exactly be an accurate analogy either but as with me, I hope you do get the point. I'd rather read a disclaimer saying "We the founders here at the coin forum disagree with any and all assertions that coin cleaning can be accomplished, so we therefore reserve the right to block, badger, ridicule, </p><p>edit, discredit, or just plain ignore anything that is different than our opinions. We further state that our opinions are indeed facts". That woulda saved me a lot of time on that particular subject.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
