No actually Im referring to really old posts that people used to make where they suggest that I buy a belt, or that they would mail me a belt. Partially along the lines of what Headhunter said.Im assuming this is the post you're referring to, or similar ones:
These posts are saying the belt is a piece of fabric, the comparison would be that the eagle scout badge is just a pin. Both of which are true, but neither suggest you earn it by buying it from a store. I think you're missing the time of people's suggestions.
