Small Rant, Mostly Comment

Well once again it has come to my attention that I have offended the sensibilities of a new member. It is never my intention to offend, but it seems that bringing a dose of numismatic reality to the apparent fallacious idea seeming purported by the current crop of 10 minute Youtube videos the once more "Rush to Riches" through common coinage. The truth of this is, it is ALL chance, not skill, nor massive amounts of searching, just plain "dumb luck" is all. The sooner one realizes that, the better they will be. Truth always seems to do that, you may not "Like" it, it may "hurt", but it is real. So, I do apologize for your feelings being bruised, but would you rather be disappointed now, or later?

So to atone for my wrongs, I have decided to no longer comment on these new member posts of less than 15 total post counts. It seems the majority of new members disappear after their one question has been answered...they post at most, 1-5 times is all. Those who are truly seeking will put forth diligent effort with gratefulness. This shows up usually within 10-25 postings. So this should make the Moderator's happy they won't have to censure my posts in regard to this matter, and may no longer cause any offense to the fragile noobie just getting his feet wet to this forum and collecting arena in total.. There are enough mostly accurate mimicking advice responses given to many of the posts that any of my repeated input isn't necessary any longer. My advice, comments and knowledge will be reserved for the more seasoned members who have the shown desire to learn, not argue with those more knowledgeable(even a real expert). As always, those who desire to, can contact me for further assistance off the forum, but of course that requires a 50 post minimum.
