[QUOTE="aaroncab, post: 1830895, member: 3974"]The OP doth protest too much, methinks. I don't think there's any need to lecture me on focusing on helping people. I do my best to help anyone here when I have any information that might be useful to them. I have not put any effort in to trying to make you look bad, if it feels that way, maybe it's because what you did looks bad. Also - please don't tell me to settle down when all I did was point out the inconsistency in your story, and the fact that someone else posted the same item in another forum, at the same time, asking for the same advice. I am completely calm and enjoying my day, thank you very much. To be completely honest - I, and I think some others here, are less likely to go above and beyond to help someone research an item that they don't even yet own, rather than something in their own collection. I'm not saying that you can't, or shouldn't ask for help on a potential purchase, just that folks here can sometimes feel like they are being used as a free research team for people who are looking to make a quick buck (without even owning the item in question), again, not saying that's what you are doing, but I do think most of the time people here are more willing to help out when the item is something you actually own. Good enough for you, yes, perhaps because he's not lecturing you or telling you to settle down, like he is towards me.[/QUOTE]
