Excuse me, but that's pretty much what you did! You were the one adamant that it was a fossilized pinecone, and poo-pooed anybody that suggested it wasn't!
So how did that crow taste? Jean

I was wondering how long it would take for poor Don to be thrown under the bus.

'Pretty much' what I did? All notes are time stamped. I can edit til someone replies, go show me where I said it CANNOT be anything else? I agreed with the fossil collector, because doh, he's the fossil collector? I needed visual proof, and til it was provided, I'd take the word of the fossil collector over people who aren't. It didn't taste like crow at all, I could have just said, OK! I'll sell you the pinecone!
Instead, I am who pursued the doubt about it... repeatedly asking for the pictoral proof, so that I did NOT sell what was NOT a pinecone to the fossil collector who insisted it was.
I am eating no crow at all, I'm glad that someone took the time to show it. I accepted the judgement of the 2 fossil collectors, and asked for evidence from the non fossil collectors.
Your crowing is strange as heck since you are not the one who provided the proof, Rocks2Dust did, nor are you the one who started the objection, Yurilla did. Exactly what ARE you crowing about?

I am sorry, I do not see the post you are talking about. It seems that your posts are all hours of the day and night, are you sleeping okay?

I do have a very odd sleep schedule, thanks for asking:).
You asked me on the other thread (the Pinecone one in Fossils) what other rock forums I belong to. I answered you, and asked you the same. You did not answer. Did you forget to check the threads you post on?

Actually I did post photos. You included me when you said it was anger driven-
So that's why I am involved.
It kind of sounds to me like you are the one that is angry. Better negative attention than no attentian at all, eh? Jean

Actually, I was angry yesterday, but at what Jo posted about how I was trying to rip Don off by trying to sell him a thunderegg as a pinecone. On the thread I started asking for proof from people who insisted it was not a pinecone.
The moment adequate proof was posted, I accepted the proof, and was glad I did not sell it as a pinecone, despite what it said. If I wanted to rip someone off, I'd have just sold it as a pinecone instead of pursuing it. That I annoyed you guys into providing the proof gives you the right to crow or me:)? I was who wanted to know if it was either a pinecone or a thunderegg.
Perhaps you weren't angry and were amused, I'm not sure why the distinction matters, but if it does matter to you, ok, you were laughing the entire time. I wasn't laughing, but I definitely enjoyed the discussion, and are happy we got to a conclusion either way. It would really have bothered me to sell something that was misrepresented, I'd much rather know beforehand if possible, and that's what I thanked everyone for, not letting up on it, and SHOWING us it was possible.
Attention now is it? I said thank you for the help, which typically ends the thread, and you come in with the crowing business, and I'm the one in need of attention? Oooook.

In all of God's blue and green Earth, and the glorious Heavens above, I thank all that is good, that there are rocks.
