Roadkill,
I feel your comments are totally uncalled for. You have made it perfectly clear on many occassions that you are a shooter, not a collector, have no desire to be a collector, and you dispise collectors. In my opinion your comments about collectors and their attitude are not even close to the way it is. Collectors have spent years trying to acquire the knowledge to tell the difference between variations, fakes, and reblue's, and share this information with you, so you can read a book and quote their passages. The collectors I know do not feel or act higher or better than anyone. They are willing to share information, but instead of welcoming them and accepting them, they are questioned and challenged on all posts with requirements to produce documentation. The experts try to stay current with information, which you do not, and are constantly trying to share this new information because you are still passing on 50 yr old wrong information. When they do try to help you, you label them as trying to be better or above you. There is a major problem here with people posting wrong answers and if you correct them you get "the wraith of Roadkill" with comments of being power hungry and acting above everyone. Your attitude is as much a problem as anyones! And yes, I do think the true experts do deserve some respect, and yes, what they state has more meaning than someone re-siting a 50 yr old book! ---- John, shut this damn thread off and lets move on!!!
