Archie,
This is a board of opinions. I like you have an opinion. I am not trying to start a "war" nor am I trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.
My intention was to bring to light what I believe to be a failure on the part of individuals to follow a learning process.

Why must everything we discuss turn into a battle? If you believe you should warn individuals, please warn them. I believe collectors have a responsibility to themselves and the hobby in general to learn as much as they can so they do not end up being taken.

Why does it have to fall upon someone or an organization to do the warning? Why can't information be shared in general so others can learn? I was not discussing you. I was discussing concepts. Please don't take everything you read personnal.

I have had enough of this topic. My intentions have been good. Remember Archie, we cannot control what others do. We can only encourage others to learn.
Jim
