[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 3181973, member: 26302"]Good post and brings up a good point. Almost all the posters here are seasoned CT hands. I know I get tired as much as everyone else of the new members asking lame questions over and over again when they could have searched and found their answer.

Yes, its frustrating, but sometimes if you are in a mood its best to just not post instead of the snarky remark you think of in your head. Snark turns to more snark, which leads to hurt feelings and simply nasty threads. These threads can be the first thing real new collectors see and turn them off from CT forever. I know I have an ancient collector I recommended CT to and he read some threads and told me he does not wish to be associated with such a site. Just some thoughts.
