[QUOTE="GerardV, post: 2857813, member: 76329"]This is what hobbies are supposed to be about. Far too often, I see people hoarding their knowledge and being dismissive to newbies. All that does is assure the death of the hobbie in question. Then the old guys sit around complaining that kids aren't taking up ...insert hobby here. The gun world is notorious for this. Every gun club/gun shop has some curmudgeon who is overbearing, rude, over-officious, and downright mean. He takes it upon himself to be judge, jury and executioner for everything and chases off good new members/customers. Generally, hobby forums are the same way....even other areas of CT are guilty of it. This group has it right. Keep giving back, even if you get burned by seeing a gifted coin on eBay, because it will create one or two dedicated ancient collectors. Plus, it teaches the rest of us the right way as well.[/QUOTE]
