Some phrases

Edward Tinker · 02-08-2018, 03:16 AM

I find some phrases, a bit odd and in the collecting world. Although I have noticed a difference between some forums such as the CMP, or C&R forum, rather than just luger forum and Gunboards on responses.

My biggest pet peeve is probably when somebody writes a message and then they get to the end and say;
Please respond or Please advise.
That Should sound nice but I find it very funny that they’re on a forum and then they sound demanding??

Another is the in-attention to what part of the forum they are in. WTS or WTB - is that an appropriate place to comment? Especially when they’ve been a member for 5 or 10; years. Or on main Gunboards I see new members post a question in the WTS area...

And some folks ask a question that a search on the forum or the faq or google would answer... I don’t mind, but I find that there’s a couple of members on any of the above forums that they do this consistently. They act like they have knowledge and then when it comes down to simple searches they don’t and they also own plenty of books and I’ve had a few of them tell me
,,,,,, but it’s so much easier to just ask on the forum then look it up.
