<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GerardV, post: 2857813, member: 76329&quot;]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.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then the old guys sit around complaining that kids aren&#039;t taking up ...insert hobby here. </p><p><br /></p><p>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. </p><p><br /></p><p>Generally, hobby forums are the same way....even other areas of CT are guilty of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>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.</p><p><br /></p><p>Plus, it teaches the rest of us the right way as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
