<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 791957, member: 50&quot;]I&#039;ll give this a go.</p><p><br /></p><p>Golgatha, this site has some lovely and very knowledgeable folks from all over the world who are often willing to share and discuss what they know. In addition there are people who are eager to learn what others have to share so win win for everyone.</p><p><br /></p><p>People bringing an object here are usually asked for good photos from many angles including close-ups and material, any construction details or identifying marks. In addition people are often asked for dimensions and any history that is already known even as simple as the country it was discovered in.</p><p><br /></p><p>You know the saying about catching more flies with honey? Many folks are very busy and won&#039;t comment or contribute if they seem to be wandering into a hornet&#039;s nest of a discussion.</p><p><br /></p><p>So to that end lots of please and thank-you go a long way as it&#039;s terribly easy to misinterpret someone&#039;s intent from the written word. I usually re-write my postings before hitting the reply button because I tend to speak very abruptly and write that way as well which can seem snippy though not intended that way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway hope you&#039;ll come to appreciate what this forum can offer and hope you&#039;ll find you can contribute.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
