[QUOTE="rhiwfield, post: 197129, member: 924"]I have often asked about clocks on here, though not suggesting that Bluemoon posted that as anything other than a hypothetical example. I've always had an informative response, often from af, and am always grateful for the info provided. However, there is another point that may be valid. Most people do have limited time and dip in and out of threads. If an OP has been given an informative response that suggests a line of research, then surely such OP does not expect to be spoonfed with ever more detail? There was a case in point recently where I asked what book would be appropriate to describe antique clock movements.af provided the answer, I got the book and all is well. Part of the value of this forum is helping people to help themselves :)[/QUOTE]
