only serve to clutter and distract from the true purpose of this board.
Let's go back a step.
What is the true purpose of this board ??
What is the purpose of RootsChat ??
RootsChat started out as a family history chat forum. As it developed, we discovered that "family history" covers a multitude of things, including old photos, which led to restoration of old photos, which led to this board being set up.
On other parts of RootChat we have gone well beyond "just a family history forum" and offer help, not only in finding information, but also in showing others where to find the information.
RootsChat has become a community, a part of peoples' lives, a social experience.
And now some restorers are offering - I repeat -
offering - help, not only to "do" but to
show others how to "do" - thus furthering what is happening on other parts of RootsChat.
Nobody is forced to do anything here, whether reading the TOTb topics - fun for some, anathema for others - or joining in the "
teaching" aspects of photo restoration - fun for some, but not for others.
There is room enough on RootsChat for a variety of ways to participate,
everybody can choose for themselves how much and where.
Anybody who wants to contribute on this "Post and Tell" concept is free to do so.
Anybody who doesn't wish to contribute, is free not to do so
