<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 3234775, member: 27832&quot;]And yet, here we both are.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I come up with, say, <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/kisatchie-die-variety-what-on-earth.263090/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/kisatchie-die-variety-what-on-earth.263090/">a Kisatchie quarter with odd disturbances in the reverse fields</a>, I can put up an image so that <i>dozens</i> of community members will see it, including Mike Diamond. As you said, people who <i>don&#039;t</i> know what it is can sometimes suggest people who <i>will</i>. And we don&#039;t all have to be in the same place at the same time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I <i>could</i> have found it right before a major show, where I&#039;d get to ask experts about it in person. But then when I found a second example a few days later, making it not a one-off error or damage, everyone would already have gone home.</p><p><br /></p><p>For less than the cost of a single train ticket, I get full access here with <i>zero</i> advertising (other than the For Sale forum). I can ask questions any day, any time, the questions stay until the person with the right knowledge shows up, and their <i>answers</i> stay up until I return. I don&#039;t have to deal with the stress, expense and inconvenience of travel; I don&#039;t have to deal with the stress of face-to-face interaction and crowds. And I can skip right on past YouTube on my way here, every single time.</p><p><br /></p><p>For <i>you</i>, I accept that face-to-face interaction at shows is superior. For me, the balance is different. I&#039;ll grant that you have more knowledge in this field than I do (or, most likely ever will), but I&#039;d submit that that&#039;s down to motivation, focus, and time spent, not <i>just</i> show attendance and face-to-face interaction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
