<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3776276, member: 19463&quot;]It can be said that I am no fun but I am particularly opposed to threads where the cut and paste text is larger than the original material.&nbsp; I am fond of Wikipedia and will read what they have to say about, for example, an emperor, so I do not value the entire Wiki-text being quoted in a thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>Similarly I do not value cut and paste coin identifications including catalog listings that almost no one owns or uses.&nbsp; I am particularly against quoting catalog numbers that you have not checked because it perpetuates errors when someone else quotes the misquoted quotation.&nbsp; There are sellers who very rarely make such an error and there are others that need checking closely.</p><p><br /></p><p>I apologize for not being concise.&nbsp; I&#039;m not. My grandson&#039;s English teacher makes his class write practice essays on subjects required by Yale admissions ranging between 25 and 250 words. He always gets top score on the 25 word ones.&nbsp; Obviously he got that skill from the other side of the family.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
