<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2928744, member: 36230&quot;]Your own words, in questioning if cleaning impacts value, made it clear that you&#039;re newer to this field. There&#039;s absolutely nothing wrong with being new and/or unfamiliar with certain aspects of this hobby, but there sure as hell is something disturbingly wrong with your reaction to a perfectly respectful and completely innocuous post making very simple and neutral suggestions. NOTHING I said was in any way an attack upon you or even remotely insulting, sir. If the post was of no help, fine; simply move along allowing anyone else who may read it to take from it what they can and/or if they so choose.</p><p><br /></p><p>Surely someone of your age and experience understands that each and every one of us can learn something from the next guy, be it the 103 year old lady down the street, or the four year old kid next door, but we&#039;ll never know what we could&#039;ve learned until we listen, giving due consideration to what was said. In no way did I even remotely suggest I am what you ridiculously painted me as, but this is an area I happen to know a little something about after a few decades involved in this hobby as a non-collector. I&#039;ve personally witnessed the mistakes made by people in similar situations to you, and had simply hoped that said experience could possibly help you to avoid the same pitfalls; this was my mistake. I wish you the best in your collecting endeavors, sir, but will not again waste my time on you.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I offer my sincere appreciation to Doug, Beef, and Deer for seeing my earlier post as intended. Thank you, gentlemen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
