I&#039;m sure there are people that would like to ask a question or give their opinion and are afraid of the replies they&#039;ll get.</p><p><br /></p><p>After My very first post I received some very less than welcoming replies. What surprised me the most was the private messages I got that basically said what you said in your post. I just encouraged the people to ignore those that were not helpful and stick with it. There are people who post on the forum who think they are the greatest expert in the world on everything coins, there are people who feel they have to belittle everything a newbie posts on the forum, and there are people who think that they have to make a joke about everything posted on the forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fortunately, the vast majority people on the forum are not any of the above. They are truly interested in coins and have some very good questions or answers to someone else&#039;s questions and I hope they keep going. I have a pretty eclectic coin collection, so I wind up on several of the different forums, some, like ancients are a pleasure to be on, others need some work to get them to lighten up and use the forum for its intended purpose-coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
