Don , I agree that some "old hands" out there are set in their ways and will not consider any new information ..and there's no telling them anything ... " I bought one of these from a Vet back in 1956 so , unless it looks like mine --It's Fake"
Another thing I agree with was your comment " I'm amazed at the number of people that have joined here in the last year and a half who want instant answers when all they have to do is use the search function " ..that's true on all the Forums , however , the main thing here would be knowing if the person posting had been on long enough and should know better .Before I post , I try to remember that we have some who are new to Collecting ...and others who are only new to posting on the Forums . Until they get a feel for any Forum and learn how it all works ..it's very easy to alienate either one of them by telling them (even in a nice way) to "Go look it up for yourself" ..We've all seen the results from that type of answer again and again , usually they take it the wrong way and that's the last we see of them --- and who benefits from that ? But as far as the " Does not match any examples" part ...I hope you can see that I was just using that line as an example . However , I still feel It's only one notch above the one-liner -- " It's Fake"
