<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 894989, member: 19065&quot;]Here&#039;s a nice :smile for you too Rusty. You DO deserve a smile because you have a collection of gorgeous notes that serves to educate and wow us all! MPC notes are not my thing, but I sure do admire your tastes in them and have noted aspects about your personal notes that I really enjoyed learning about. I have no problem congratulating you on your collection nor for any other person who shares their collections with the forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the OP: &#039;Bottom line&#039; here is that you posted a rant about the USPS and it was unwarranted. You were challenged on your rant but you refused to see that you may have caused your own pains. Contrary to other recent comments here, you did not post to solicit anything of any benefit to anyone, nor to share you interests, lest they were to defame the USPS. It was a rambling, self-serving rant, period. </p><p><br /></p><p>You posted your rant in the Paper Money forum rather than the General Discussion forum. Your OP had nothing to do with sharing your collection and interests but rather for venting your frustration at something you could have taken steps to prevent. Based on your experience, you had no reason to publicly complain about the service you received, not given the scenario you initiated the thread with. Your OP had everything to do with bad mouthing the USPS and had you the patience enough to wait for your parcel to arrive the following day you might have been relieved that the note you mailed reached the destination... or the note you bought was now in your possession. In turn, you could have posted the note to share your true interests. To this point, all the way back to my original comment to you, you still haven&#039;t indicated if you were the seller or the buyer, sender or receiver. Obviously, it didn&#039;t and still doesn&#039;t matter to you as you and your bandwagon have gone in every direction to misconstrue my original criticism of your complaint. </p><p><br /></p><p>Insults, none present nor were any ever intended. Why do you think the thread is still alive? This is not about insulting one another, but figuring out your problem with the USPS and perhaps avoiding it in the future. You began the thread with intent but as soon as you were challenged you went on the defense instead of admitting any fault of your own or clarifying your reasoning. Rude comments? Well that&#039;s subjective at best and only for a moderator to determine. Not you, not me nor the audience. The further this thread gets from you addressing the criticism of your original point, the less we gain any resolution hence my declaration of your OP being pointless.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rusty, please re-evaluate your original post in this thread rather than pandering to the gawkers that came along to stir the poo. I&#039;m sure they are all fine folks in their own right but have nothing much to say beside trying to provoke a spat, especially the newer members who are speaking of us with so little time invested here to date. Straighten out the original scenario you sort of bungled by your wording of the OP as it did little to inform your point of frustration nor buy much sympathy to that situation. I&#039;m not here for anything other than to learn from each other about a mutual topic and related concerns. However, you view my challenges as a war against you which are wholly misinterpreted. You wonder why I implore you with questions and challenge your off the cuff replies to scores and scores of threads which you demonstate little personal insights about for someone with so much dealer based knowledge in numismatics. That&#039;s because I take it you are much more well versed in these topics and I&#039;d only expect the best most well informed replies from you, as opposed to another two-worded &quot;nice coin&quot; type comment punctuated by a smiley icon... of which all forums are overflowing with.</p><p><br /></p><p>Keep on posting your notes (and coins too) and please don&#039;t read my bluntness and criticism as an attempt to throw you under a bus. Far from it just as I&#039;m far from the only one who has challenged you on your threads, especially when it comes to debate over TPG issues that you like to poll and hash about. All my best to you Rusty.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
