If there happy with what they got, let them be happy. Let it go. And everyone else just relax, this forum has gotten ridiculous with the nonstop fighting about everything lol. If people want to be rude, don't react to it. Some people will tell people its a sec, or pp in a nice way, and some people are just more forward, Everyone is different.
Admin has been warned about this topic
I get your point cdcplaya and as for JonahQ, I expected him to know how to use the forum as a moderator (which we don't have a lot left at the moment).
However commenting the usual "Awesome", "Congrats", "Amazing" to sec's, PP's, AP's and plain simple forgeries through a trade, sale, etc) doesn't help anyone on here because newbies will always believe that they can write to Johnny Depp, John Travolta, Hugh Jackman and all the other A-listers and get back an authentic autograph.
Instead a forum and a website making autographs a subject of discussion should help newbies and laypersons to built up a great collection of authentic autographs and teach them about sec's, PP's, AP's and forgeries. To withhold informations about authenticity is no help for anyone, especially not for newbies who feel betrayed when they learn after some years that most of their collection is bogus.
What doesn't help either are these nonsense comments about authenticity like
"I don't know if this helps with authenticity on RDJ's auto, but on gwyneth's autograph she drew a little arrow pointing to the backside of the paper which had the little note from him." or
"It must be authentic because it took two month until I received it back.". A little knowledge is a dangerous thing and this nonsense is no help for anyone.
