[Rockhounds] 83.8lbs Lucas Creek WA Agate Find

[syonix at comcast.net]

Thank you for your opinions. it honestly helps. If i knew i wouldn't ask

now, about the childish behavior..
It is amazing the differences in people on this list.
I ask a simple basic question and more than half the replies are calling me a flamer.
i have been watching this list for a long time and have see repeated egotrips and flaming done by these very people. it is terrible that in the midst of the ability to get and disperse information there is so much ego and  political nonsense in what should be a general friendly list. I frankly dont need to be lectured by people who think thier the best thing since sliced bread. I am done. goodbye good people. as far as the rest of you, regardless of how much you know, or think you know, you're attitudes drive more people away from rock and mineral shows, clubs and outing than you know. I am not alone in oregon Tim.
