<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2385586, member: 1892"]I'm just illustrating reasons why it's a <b>good</b> thing, in anticipation of inevitable arguments <i>against</i> from the members who employ that same hairsplitting to generate an argument for the sake of arguing. Part of my agenda here is to inform of what the Internet <i>is</i> and <i>isn't </i>to forum posters and general and coin collectors in specific, as it's clear that many new posters here are as unsure of the Internet itself as they are collecting. This thread has 30 posts and 440 reads; how many of those reads are from people who've never seen this information before? Experienced members here aren't F5ing the thread to up the Read count; they know when someone new has posted and Alerts (again, what a <b>wonderful</b> feature) let them know if they've been specifically called out.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can't_ever_forget the nonparticipants; they're the most important people here because many are as yet undecided whether they're going to contribute in the future or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
