You fellas hate the library huh? Reading is fudamental ya know.


Just as a point of fact, not every library has access to the Sanborn maps. I have checked every library in my area and while they all have Heritage quest, which is part of the same company, they don't have the Sanborn maps. So to assume that everyone just automatically has access to this based upon your own experiance in your part of the world doesn't mean that everyone is as fortunate as you.

Like I said just a point of fact. To your opponents I have to say that you have no real proof that Lobeycat did anything, you are assuming that just because he is being a jerk about it being gone, that he is responsible. They are gone, they were good while it lasted; however, you do have to remember that you were getting access without actually paying for it, so get over it.

Can't we all just get along? *ducks* Reckon not.

     As far as how we personally feel about others, I agree with Gunther, ignore them but this can be hard to do when someone constantly shows up to argue with you on stuff that doesn’t concern them. Chris don’t show up to argue on Lobey’s posts.
    I totally agreed with Lobey in the first thread on this issue, yet I did not insult folks in arguing my point.
Woody, if your reading this could you please posts the rules again they seem to be unclear. Or could you please let me know where Lobes posts in the first thread disappeared to. The ones where he was throwing names around at Lou and others as well as announcing he broke the news to the Sanborn site. Of course the other’s posts were left up to make them look unreasonable. I realize he didn’t blow the whistle or have anything to do with the access being lost. It is foolish to accuse him.
   I have been part of these stupid arguments before on this forum and will not get personal or insult anyone again. I was warned as well as several others, including Lobey that we would be thrown off if it occurred again. It has occurred several times since then with one common denominator. Not myself, not Rick, not Chris.. I have been a member for years and have never heard Chris make negative remarks to anyone or get caught up in arguments with others. I have directed rude remarks at one member and one only. I do apologize and won’t get caught up in that crap again.
   Lobes, you mentioned Matt being thrown out. He should have been but should have not went alone according to the rules. Moderators have been asked why this didn’t occur and one actually posted that no one contacted them saying they were offended. I think there is a fan club of offended folks that have stated their case. Personally, I don’t want Lobey to leave the forum I am entertained by his posts more times than not. Not that my opinion of anyone should or does matter.
   I had a politically influenced signature removed because it offended someone. Understandable, but how does one explain all the current “crap” non bottle posts on this forum. Most knowledgeable bottle folks are turned off by this off topic stuff and never post as a result. More and more, it seems the forum gets away from what brings us all together, bottles. As it turns out, if you are some lonely chap with a computer and you would like to find out how to groom your cat, make a mean manicotti, balance the budget, roll a doobie, or find out the 3rd track on Styx second album, this is the place to be at times.
    Administration and moderators can’t read every post and I understand. I don’t pay the for the bandwidth so don’t make the rules. But if you are going to post rules let me know exactly who they are for, please. Precedence is dangerous. I enjoy this forum and want it to continue to be the best place on the net to talk BOTTLES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Status: online 		Again bottles only ,may be the way to go,but then you don't really learn a lot of good stuff others think or what other interests  they have. We are not one dimentional bottle heads.If the rule is passed bottles only I will go along with it,but maybe the rule should be other topics sides bottles should be only on collectors chat.[notice this topic ain't on there] I have also noticed a bottle item will be on for days at times and no one adds nothing new. again there are pleanty of places for bottles here!INSTEAD OF COMPLAING ABOUT OTHER TOPICS BESIDES BOTTLES ON HERE ,TALK UP MORE ABOUT BOTTLES,SHOW MORE BOTTLES.I THINK BOREDOM WITH NOT ENOUGH GOOD BOTTLE STUFF RUNS PEOPLE OFF AS MUCH OR MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE! I hope to get more pictures of my bottles on here when I can,and to talk about them.

Well then Dave, drop those other silly forums (could I have the links by the way, would love to see another forums point of view) and stay right here. No one's leaving this place in droves....

That's great; however, after reading the five millionth person ask what the "10, 2, 4" on Dr. Pepper Bottles means, bottle posts tend to get repetitive. Sometimes the posts are still interesting; however, I personally am a multi-collecting, multi-interest person, who's sole existance is isn't the aqusition of bottles. Every once in a while you like to discuss something that isn't bottles, if that drives off those who have a thin skin, who are quite content with answering how much a hobbleskirt Coke from timbucktoo, RI is worth, what can you do. One wonders just how hard they are working to be offended, because for the most part the off topic posts show up in one thread in collectors chat, if you don't want to read it then stay in the Digging and finding section, or one of the other areas where this type of off topic discussion normally doesn't happen.

Fighting over this Sanborn Map situation is just stupid, and in the wrong place; however, it does impact some peoples collecting so it has a place on the site. Just not in the little kid pissing contest form that it has taken. A good example of a forum that works well, is the Star Wars collecting forum I frequient, it is about Star Wars collecting mainly; however, has seen the need to allow their members to discuss other topics in different areas, everything from movies, television, electronics, even other action figure collecting. Heck I have even posted a few bottles on there and no one sniveled and cried about it. Their rule is no politics or religion, everything else is fair game in the proper area. You don't want to read about the latest Marvel figures then stay out of the Marvel figure topic post.

If they had a ONLY TALK STAR WARS!!!! attitude then things would get quite boring, because there isn't always new news about new product coming out; however, being a currently produced product helps keep the discussion new to a certain degree. Bottles don't have this luxury, aside from the latest aqusition of one of the members, which we can look at but doesn't effect us on a personal level that often which leads to the "nice find" or "great bunch of bottles" comments which aren't a discussion but just a pat on the back for someone elses good luck, there just isn't that much new on the market. Rarely does the "discussion" around here grow beyond that, so is it any real surprise that some people want to discuss other things?

Actually it's no problem, I just wanted to point out the repition of a good deal of the posts on the site. Your's just happened to come to mind, because it was the last one I spotted lately.

As for the Pat-d coke, who knows; however, my standard answer will apply, it's worth as much as you are willing to pay for it. LOL!

Status: offline 		Im new here and kind of confused..It seems there is a forum on here called UNEXPECTED DISCOVERIES and its says it for unrelated bottle posts. Well the Admin. must of thought it was a good idea to have a seperate forum for UNBOTTLE STUFF, because they are the ones who have the power to make it a forum. I bet that everyone has a interest in something besides glass and if someone posted something you were interested in, you would not hit the back button and not look, and the Sanborn thing was good while it lasted..Actually a guy at the Flea Market was selling copies and if he didnt have the one you wanted he could send you a page for $20.00....He also had the old town photos with the little E-bay emblem in the corner that he copied and was selling for $20.00??? He was selling the crap out of that stuff....Good luck finding bottles everyone

to all concerned, if you dont like what others post you can always block that user and never have to look at thier posts again. I think that is a better solution than people leaving the forum. Use the power given to you.
I currently have no one blocked so people just arent trying hard enough  

It works very well, I've been using it for quite awhile now.  It kept me out of this one, till curiosity got the better of me.  Should've known it would be the same old thing.  For anyone in Ohio, Sanborns are on the OPLIN site.

I am not leaving but just mentioned that a lot of bitching between  different members does tend to put some off and constructive critiscism is good but accusations and name calling etc should never be put on a public forum.
