I’ll cut to chase…

I got caught on camera yesterday and had post deleted with I assume the “Taking threads off topic” rule being applied in the Sets, Parts and Service Information Wanted section…

Personally, I felt I had some relevant information to offer, however it was deleted… fair enough, the forum rules are the rules and from now on I’ll rigidly adhere to them… However, this does beg the question if I want to post some relevant information as to the application of an item discussed in a wanted [information] post where do I post so it doesn’t get deleted?

Some guidance would be appreciated, but as a starter for a plan…
Place a link in the information wanted post with very brief notation of why the link is there and then start a new thread in the Components and Circuits section with the supplementary information pertaining the Information being discussed in the original wanted post?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Regards
Terry.

Please don't post in a wanted thread.

Start a new thread in the relevant section and, in the first post, post a link to the wanted thread.
