<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Phoenix21, post: 298163, member: 7424&quot;]Wow, been said before, but I&#039;ll say it too, awesome topic Bone. :thumb: A real mind poker. Honestly my thought is people post to get information, and if it&#039;s not the information they want to hear, they either will react in a very civil way, or they&#039;ll fly off the panhandle and rant and rave about how everyone is wrong, and all. My thought is, why ask a question if you don&#039;t want to hear any other answer than the one you are looking for? Clembo&#039;s sig comes to mind, a closed mind is no mind at all. And there are a lot of cases that this will happen. </p><p><br /></p><p>But then there are the cases that some people will ask a question, such as beginners or people that aren&#039;t collectors just looking for info, they will ask a question, and sometimes more times than not, they will get jumped for that. I have not honestly personally seen it here, but other places I have. Examples like them asking about cleaning coins, ironing paper money, or just asking a question that might seem &quot;simple&quot; or so to us, but to them it is an honest question. Now I trust a lot of people on here, and there opinions. Everyone on here has atleast a little bit to offer to this forum, some knowledge of a particular area. There is a wide range of knowledge on here, everything from coins from Zimbabwe all the way to civil war tokens, to error coins. Everyone has a little bit to offer. Doesn&#039;t matter if you are 8 or 98, regardless of anything, everyone here I would almost bet my collection on has contributed and helped out in some way with this forum. That&#039;s why I think a lot of people come to places like this, looking for answers, and about 99.9% of the time they normally will get an answer. Now keep in mind, everyone on here has made mistakes at one time or another, but that&#039;s human nature. No one on here will know everything there is to know, I think it is pretty safe to say we are all still learning a lot. Trust me, I sure know I am. And once we learn something knew, I know more than most of us will be more than glad to share that and teach whatever we learned to someone else. This is a real friendly crowd, with a lot of people here to help out. Granted, there will be some people with a broom in an unfriendly place, but I&#039;d like to see a place without atleast one of them. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry again if I sound like I&#039;m rambling once again, but this is what I have to say basically. And to all of you that have questions about something, do not be at all afraid to ask. Remember a phrase that says &quot;Better to ask a question and be a fool for 5 minutes, than to not ask a question and be a fool forever.&quot; Thanks for the very interesting topic Bone, and thanks to everyone young and old, who has taught and shared something with someone that they learned. Happy Thanksgiving all. :hug:</p><p><br /></p><p>Phoenix <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
