RANT: Does anyone actually READ threads around here anymore?

[nadeau01_johnson48]

Why is it EVERY SINGLE TIME I post a thread asking for specific things (IE: Ohio State Buckeyes autos IN a Buckeyes uniform, or CURRENT Cleveland Browns GU/Autos ONLY), I get responses like:

Have a Ted Ginn Jr. Topps rookie.

or

Have a Tim Couch GU. Interested in your ___________.

or

Have a Santonio Holmes Steelers patch.

Is it really that hard to read the thread? I'm looking for the things I ASKED FOR, not random stuff I have no interest in. If I say I only want current Browns, why are you offering me Tim Couch? If I say I only want stuff of guys pictured IN a Buckeyes uniform, why are you offering me a Steelers patch of Santonio?

I mean, seriously. This isn't just a one time thing either. This stuff happens constantly. Is it really that difficult to read threads around here?

I might have a Brady Quinn/AJ Hawk dual uni that Quinn's sister wore!



Seriously though... this has been going on for along time and is not going to change anytime soon. Some people skim and don't READ

To many people on this site,my answer would be yes.

Sometimes (I think) its done in hopes that the original poster may have more "expanded" interest. Its happened to me alot, but I just figured its done out of a "want to trade". It doesn't bother me because they just might have something I wasn't thinking of ( but have interest in). If I don't want it, I just say "no thanks".

Can't stand seeing people doing this. Also jve been seeming guys who post the EXACT same reply in everynthread such as "nice break", "sweet hits" and so on but never contribute any useful input. Then there are the ones who will always post saying they "need this " for pretty much every thread even though there is no way they can possibly acquire such. Sorry but I had to rant also

Can't forget in the box break threads....

"Nothing is FS/FT at this time"
-"Is the Aaron Rodgers for trade?"

This happens so often. Obviously, its not for trade. So why ask? Or those who ask you to PM a price on a sale thread...when the prices are listed in the thread. Oh well!

all this is for sure true-thank goodness most of the people on the racing boards are cool and theres not as many of us-decreases the chances of stupidity

[superpieman]

this happens to me all the time. i try to put prices in my sale threads and either say the price is firm or make offers if you dont like the price. and ill still always get "how much is the so and so auto" or "whats your best price on such and such a card" i dont mind giving prices but it annoys me when the info is right there and people just skip over it.

You already know my opinion on the matter..we have the same issues with this topic.
