not in this place mate, some of us go to some pretty moderate lengths to help people out...Quote:

now I dont know if you actually are a piano tuner but.....
one day I gave you a tip on how to do something sparky that tied to a mechanical adjustment, in turn you talked jeff through replacing a tuning a broken piano string and then he taught a surgeon how to sharpen his scalpel and then lo and behold 3 months later while I was getting my knee hacked on the surgeon mentioned jeff who'd shown him how to sharpen his knife because Jeff had been given the free advice on how to sort a piano from a bloke who was paying forwards a repair tip on a mechanic...
sounds far fetched...
It works, I've already had payforwards come back several times and usually when I needed it most.
just rememeber, generally around here there are no stupid questions. the exception is the one you thought of but never asked.
welcome to the fold.
