You know...some of you guys are just d-bags. And I mean that with all sincerity.
When I started that thread about Filter81...He suggested I do it as I was making a large purchase and recently joined the forum. I didn't know anyone on here and to make me feel comfortable making a multiple thousand dollar purchase he suggested I get feedback on him. I'll continue to ask for feedback on sellers on here and will expect that the helpful people will continue to provide guidance.
Those who like to think they have attained some grand master status because of your tenure or post count can blow it out your arse. Just because someone is new to this forum, doesn't mean they need to be chastised every time they ask something that might have been asked before or is obvious to you.
If that is the case, go create a closed forum so all of you who don't like "noobs" can sit around and play circle jerk.
If this is the worst you're going to get around here...
But on a serious note...threads like your own could become problematic. They're not right now, but it's one of those floodgates-type things. Imagine how many boarders there are. Now imagine how many times one of those boarders buys from somebody they haven't previously dealt with.
Multiply those two figures together and that's the potential number of threads of this nature we could have in General.
No, nobody expects noobs to know everything. What is not unreasonable to expect, however, is that they have a willingness to use the Search function provided, if for no other reason than to avoid a log-jam in General. I've just popped "calamerica-collectibles" into the function and got four pages of related posts. If you don't use the "", you get 80 pages.
Just sayin'...
Point taken...I hate our search feature though.
My next thread will be about how I found my holy grail MS DOS floppy disk of Castle Wolfenstein from my old Acer first generation Pentium system.
