I think it's a perfectly good rule, i'm wary of anyone with say 25 posts trying to sell something high dollar....

Post count doesn't give you, or anyone else, credibility or honesty; just that you type a lot of replies on the forums. So some guy comes on a forum, and types...'yea, nice finds, WTG!!!" a hundred times, and it makes him HonestAbe?

I don't think so.

No, that would let the members know that he built his post count simply by typing "yea, nice finds, WTG!!!" a hundred times. They could then decide wether or not he is a hyper and wether or not to do business with that person.

LOL.....I was just talking about that yesterday.....I just toss them into a little container and then I will toss em or just give them to some place that collects them for charity or w/e...iag......not worth my time to recycle, but worth my time to dig those tabs cuz it paid off last week when I found my first silver ring with 7 CZ stones...iag.....but I'm having a good time and its all good...iag.

We are all friendly here. If you don't believe us, Just ask. If you still don't believe us well then screw you.

This place IS friendly. Lots of great people here. Even Digger27.
Why...I am honored!

"I would like to thank the Academy..my parents who set me on the straight and narrow, my siblings and all my friends....my first acting coach who said I had no talent, (stick this you-know-where, John!), bonesquat, who taught me to do exactly the opposite of everything he does to become successful...all of the little people I had to step on while climbing life's ladder...and a special shout out and "BITE ME" to HighCap56!"

As far as you know...I love you all!

Yes.
There is a special super-secret contest going on right now as we speak.

Nobody knows exactly when it's going to end, but on a day that Carol and Vlad pick, they promised to give Rudy's car away to the person that has the most posts.

Everybody not a mod is eligible...except bonesquat, of course.
No one here likes him.

Gotta love the creativity of those types.
