    Frustrated...

    I find it interesting I have been a member here for a while and have spent way more time reading learning and researching instead of hoping that someone else will do the "labor" side of things for me....I read day in and day out both here and on other sites as people think this is a quick get rich way of life....I believe you are either in it for the love of it (as we are unique breed) or just for the quick buck...and well its work just like any other job in life...suck it up put in the time and reap the rewards...kinda not gonna spoon feed it to you...sorry just it is what it is....tired of people complaining that no one wants to pay $1000 for 20 sticks of RAM....

    Mike,

    Based on this post, I give you a lot of credit. You seem to be the type that is putting their time in and learning the ropes the right way. I'm sure many of the other experienced members will appreciate this.

    Thank you.

    Mark

    Very well said sir. On your 21st post you may have joined the circle of the CSMFS (circle of scrap metal forum sages).

    You just took the first step with dealing with it.
    I try to remember that I am getting an abundance of knowledge at my finger tips.
    New members that actually introduce themselves in the appropriate forum,are usually greeted with the best advice they'll receive on this forum, and that is, research the archives.
    At least one member will always point in the right direction. After that it is really all up to them.
    Its their loss if they choose to ignore that advice.
    But I'll continue to reap the rewards that SMF and its members has to offer.
    Iam focusing on my businesses and making the changes where needed.
    I choose to ignore them. They ignore my advice and others .
    I really love the ignore feature. It works!
    You can't fix stupid.
    Good luck!
