Well, that's exactly the problem there. Tons of people are coming in to
Cointalk through the search engines seeking information, and there's not enough good information posted for the newbies to find there. Take this for example..... go to Google and search for "asa accugrade".... say you're a newbie looking for information on this "great" grading service .... you find their own website listed first, but you're looking for unbiased info, so who's listed second? Click on that link you get a long bit of stuff posted by Marotta. Now, is there anyone here who'd like to add something to that conversation? Or, do you think it's okay that the information newbies are finding about ASA Accugrade is just what Marotta has to say on the subject? I realize that people spend a lot of time here at RCC, and that's great, Cointalk isn't a replacement for that. Cointalk is like RCC in a way, but for people who can't, or won't, get into USENET. There are far more people using Google to find information than are going to USENET. It's fine with me also for someone to post the same exact info they post on RCC at Cointalk too, just take a few seconds to cut and paste it. RCC has great information, just not everyone is going to find it here. And, the ones that aren't going to find it are more likely to be the ones looking for information on subjects like the one I gave as an example above.

I just barely even have time to read RCC just lately, but I'll get there! (something like 700 unread messages on RCC for me right now, to give you an idea, and usually I check in several times a day, not once every several days like I have lately!) -- ~~~Chrysta~~~ ANA#R-206318 My Collection: http://www.chrystawilson.com The Truth About Eric Tillery: http://www.chrystawilson.com/aboutk6az.html |

It's actually not that new of a post. What's new is that it's now showing
up when people search for ASA Accugrade at places like Google, and it's pulling new viewers daily. Peter http://www.cointalk.org "Reid Goldsborough" wrote in message ...

Oops. I see Michael has posted more of his wisdom on the subject of Accugrade, this time with a new post at Coin Talk. What a hoot. Michael talks about Accugrade's good name and that "ignorant collectors" have made "wild and unsupportable accusations" against it. Then at the end of his post, he says, "Get the facts." What a hoot. Go to Coin Talk to see the entirety of Michael's wisdom -- www.cointalk.org. -- Coin Collecting: Consumer Guide: http://rg.ancients.info/guide Glomming: Coin Connoisseurship: http://rg.ancients.info/glom Bogos: Counterfeit Coins: http://rg.ancients.info/bogos |

You are mistaken, or lying, I'm not sure which.

Actually, the only things I've ever removed are porn and blatant spam posts.
The type of stuff you probably would like to have removed from RCC, but can't. Peter http://www.cointalk.org "Reid Goldsborough" wrote in message ...

It's just another way to manage online discussions. Many people prefer moderated online discussion groups. They eliminate most of the kind of junk personal attacks you see here and in other unmoderated groups and increase the "signal-to-noise" ratio. Unless a moderator goes overboard (Peter doesn't), using his power heavyhandedly (I've seen this happen), moderated groups can be more pleasant and useful. But to each his own. Some prefer the anything-goes atmosphere of unmoderated newsgroups. -- Coin Collecting: Consumer Guide: http://rg.ancients.info/guide Glomming: Coin Connoisseurship: http://rg.ancients.info/glom Bogos: Counterfeit Coins: http://rg.ancients.info/bogos |
