[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2745502, member: 71723"]Read that line back again. How can that possibly be on the "source of all knowledge, the Internet"? :rolleyes: Before you get your knickers in a twist, I'm making an important inquiry here. Is crowdsourcing a reputation a valuable thing or not? It seems a key attribute of Internet culture, no? But now, we have a more elite (and remember, I have no negative connotation in that word, unlike most. I actually LIKE both elites AND elitists.) set of numismatist Internet Division leaders, which top CTers are, saying, "No, ignore that 99.8 rating, we know better." What? Huh? That sounds like a conundrum to me. And if it's true big volume guys can scrub their feedback, that's an eBay problem, and maybe we need to not trust eBay AT ALL. I've never held myself out to be smarter than 99.8% of people. 99.4% was my all time top, and that was before my stroke. I don't think I can top 99.1% any more.[/QUOTE]
