Geologyhound Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I’m sure I’m one of the newer members here. But as you might be able to deduce from my handle, the rock and mineral section is one of the reasons I joined. From beach combing as a kid, I’ve always loved rocks and lapidary. If questions/answers here can kindle a life interest in a couple truly curious people, I am willing to put up with a lack of a polite response from some drive-by posters. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off Grid Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I'd leave it be Steve. I've had a shot are identifying the specimen once or twice. They can be interesting to the person responding and maybe educational. I still cringe when, as a geologist, I overthought one post that turned out to be quartz ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDancer Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 With the new member account rules kicking in it'll be interesting to see if it has an effect on the hit and run group. Personally I enjoy Rock and Mineral forums much the way others do. They often can be very informative, and as a rock hound, offer me a view of stuff I'll probably never collect ? I used to be fairly active in these forums but I do admit the "What is it" stuff put me off. However I do pop into read new posts in the event it might be comment worthy. So I say keep it.
