[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 197272, member: 85"]Exactly, for me it's glass. Having been dragged to antiques shows and in and out of shops since the 1960s, it's just an acquired knowledge that can't always be explained. I agree with Mansons that people don't always come back to a thread. I know there are times that I don't. There is also the fact that many people who start the thread don't bother to come back and acknowledge that they have at least read the information they asked for. Then there are posters who think that every answer is meant to be contested by them. I for one do not want to get into a board disagreement. To me this board is meant to be a friendly place to ask questions, learn about what we don't know. To be helpful in our answers. As I responded in another thread: [I]Many of us have been doing this for a long time. Much of what we learned was hands on, library books, learning from older dealers, just things we have seen. Today the internet makes it so much easier. [B] But not all info is correct, be it from those of us on the board or internet searches.
