<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3257891, member: 19463&quot;]Those are my favorites, too.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I get cranky easily when I see posts that I feel will drive off potential new members who are serious about the hobby.&nbsp; These include time wasters like, &quot;I don&#039;t know but hope someone else does&quot; and &quot;My coin is in no way related to the&nbsp; topic but I have not posted today so here it is again.&quot;&nbsp; What bothers me most are the ones about how much reading we do but we only skim threads reading one word in ten so we miss major points as well as important details.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So very often we have people here expertising coins from photos &quot;Looks good to me, but I know nothing&quot; but some accepted a photo of a plaster cast as a coin from my collection.&nbsp; Labels only work if read.&nbsp; The speed reading skills taught in grade school that allow enjoyment of five novels at a time don&#039;t fare as well in some cases.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>On several occasions we have pointed out the Ignore feature of CT software that allows us not to see things that bother us.&nbsp; We also have the option to &#039;soft ignore&#039; posts that don&#039;t add to our enjoyment of Coin Talk.&nbsp; I hope to be able to use &#039;soft ignore&#039; more skillfully in the New Year.&nbsp; Our friend TIF selected her name &#039;This Is Fun&#039; for a reason.&nbsp; Some of us are here to have different kinds of fun than others.&nbsp; I promise you that I will continue to be cranky every bit as much in the new year.&nbsp; You just won&#039;t know about it as often.&nbsp; Those with serious questions are welcome to use Private Conversations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
