<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 2858504, member: 307&quot;]With all due respect, every article you quoted above is either a blog post or a post on a forum, sources you yourself said weren&#039;t worthy in a previous post.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nowhere did I say that your definition is at odds with the hobby. I said that Doug was using luster as it is defined and accepted widely within the hobby. You inferred that I said you were wrong when I made no suggestion as to the validity of your definition, I merely suggested that it was different than Doug&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that discussion is a powerful learning tool, even when done on forums like those mentioned and even this one. Even when posters are uninformed but stay on point the discussion can be a great source of knowledge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I understand what both of you are saying and don&#039;t think that either is absolutely wrong or right. It is the insistence that you are 100% right and that Doug is 100% wrong that gets tiresome, boorish and degrades an excellent discussion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Make your point and support it with facts. Let the world figure out what to accept and what to discard. I think that we&#039;re up to the task.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
