    Ignore the rude people. The old curmudgeons around here are really asshats sometimes. Post whatever you want and just listen to the friendly people.

    Welcome and be patient with those who are rude. Ignore them and seek out the information that will help you. There's a lot of very knowledgeable and well mannered folks here who will help. :)

    @Billylan76 .... Welcome aboard..... Yes, books are an important part of learning. That being said, so is this forum. However, as in most social media, there are good and not so good points. Much like panning for gold... the nuggets are there, but one must process gravel to find them. :D;) This forum has many great members and the knowledge is dispersed freely. Stick around, learn and enjoy. Cheers, RickO

    Like so many forums until you have 1000's of post you just aren't accepted into the clan "by some". Just ignore the a**hats.

    Well that's a good start! Thoughtful questions (do a bit of research to know what to ask) with respectful followup will be answered!
    Now, look up the definition of curmudgeon and ignore anything from the sort. There is an active post currently with TONS of reference material listed. Check it out.

    What did I miss?

    Welcome new guy!

    Usually there is a lot to learn here, especially about coins. Don't mistake straight forward answers as rudeness. Some will tell you to go read a book, some will tell you in a text, some will joke with you and not give an answer, some will not answer you at all. If you can take a few zingers and stick around, you'll fit right in. Welcome :)

    Post whatever you want. Take most of the advice, and ignore most of the criticism. If you have honest questions, it will all sort itself out over time.

    Rude gonna be rude. Just like haters gonna hate. Go by the rule "Don't feed the trolls". No response is better than engaging. They do it for fun and are practiced at it.

    Welcome. Not many trolls here. The get banned or move on.

    Thank you very much. I appreciate your time and insight.

  • Thank you everyone. I sincerely appreciate all information, feedback, and criticism. I do apologize for losing my stick. It had been a long day. No excuse, just trying to explain. Thanks again.

    Don't worry about it. Sometimes people need a little cold water splashed on their face to bring them back into reality, so thanks for doing that and reminding the forum to not take itself too seriously.
