You either have an answer or you won't get one. |

You might try that route. |

Sorry to have taken up the time of a few lookers or it's better than spam
I'm sorry to have bothered anyone with my inquiries. Numismatics is a hobby
and all of my friends in this interesting field are very obliging. I seek coin related information on any of the items I have acquired, because if I can learn the identification of a medal or coin (coins are easy with the Krause catalogs which are now on my notebook computer), I then check with the American Numismatic Society database. If they do not have the medal and it is not just a piece of junk, I donate the medal or item to their collection. In the past few years, I have sent them seventy-five numismatic medals, coins and related items. Look up their database and type my middle name"dewardt" in, as a keyword and you will see scans of many of them or you can go to my home page of my web site for the link. If there was a rec.group for serious numismatists it would be great, so the less interested people that read the rec.collecting.coins group could skip our postings. The hobby should be fun, so lets keep it light. TheDimeMan "TheDimeMan" wrote in message .. . I hope someone who reads Chinese will help me.

You seem to have run afoul of two of the biggest problems on USENET: Ill-tempered people and the fact that text messages do not convey intent very well. When I read your first query, I thought it sounded rude. You didn't even use the word "please" until the third or fourth posting. However, I didn't say anything since I assumed your intent was not to be rude. I only mention it now because you seem to have done it again. I read your paragraph above as: "Since you guys are a bunch of ill-tempered buffoons, where can I go to get real answers to my numismatic questions?" Sorry, I can't help you with that. This newsgroup is an amazing resource when used carefully. But in order to realize its potential, you have to be *very* careful what you say and how you say it - and you have to be willing to repeatedly put up with incredibly rude responses. Hopefully, this response is not "incredibly rude" - as I was only going for "mildly rude". :-) -- Jim Seymour |

The issue is that you have posted the same request many, many times to the same newsgroup. Get a clue. /dave |

Jim...you are not the least rude. I guess I never had open comments before,
as I've used Rec.collecting.coins group ever since I found it on the internet ten or more years ago. I did get some nice help from two people and I thanked them too with a post.. Lots of people have taken a look at the "item" I can see from the statistics provided by me web host. I quite often post to alt.binaries.pictures.numismatics and even there we see off remarks sometimes, but take then in good spirits. Thanks, for you comments, again. It still is a fun hobby and I've met many great people along the way, you included. Sincerely, Roger deWardt Lane a.s.k TheDimeMan "Jim Seymour" wrote in message ...
