WHAT IS A DISCUSSION GROUP?

The internet has created opportunities to share knowledge and experiences with more people than could have been imagined a few years ago. One of the greatest internet creations has been the Discussion Group. Many are hosted by yahoogroups.com and within this system there are thousands of privately run groups comprising people all over the world having similar interests. Some groups are very private or family based whilst others are made up of people who are interested in clocks, watches, barometers, motorcycles, astronomy, stamp-collecting and so on. Some groups have restricted membership whilst others are open to anyone. Indeed, whatever your interest there will be a group of people keen to welcome you and eager to share ideas with you.

HOW DO THEY WORK?

Each group has its own special email address. When a member sends a message to that special address the email is delivered to every member of the group no matter if the membership is 10 persons or 5000. Members may reply either to the group as a whole, or simply to the person who originated the message. There is never any need to respond to messages and some people never do so but are content to read that written by other members. Most groups allow members to upload photographs and files if they want to share things with others. There is no restriction to the number of groups to which anyone might like to belong. There are no charges for these groups - all are free.

HOW TO JOIN?

The first step is to send an email to the group address.
The system responds asking you to confirm your wish to join.
All you need do is click REPLY and SEND to confirm.
The system responds with confirmation of your membership and details of the access address

However

Some groups restrict automatic membership and you might be asked about your interests or qualifications
Some groups are very restricted and private such as for family members or for clubs or religious groups

If you qualify to join a restricted group then you will be notified directly by the Owner or Moderator

Watch & Clock Professionals Group

The membership of this list is comprised primarily of professionals working in the restoration of timepieces, either clocks or watches. The PUBLIC IS INVITED TO SEND questions to the moderator who will forward those questions on to the group for their consideration. Such questions may include advice about restoration or maintanence, finding a qualified professional they can work with, or technical questions about a specific timepiece. IF a group member decides they can be of assistance , they will answer privately.

This list is intended to serve the needs of the working professional. In particular, this group is intended to promote the "swapping" of parts, sharing of technical information and techniques and the identification of trends. It is NOT a venue for neophyte to "learn the trade". While some talented amateurs may be admitted to the group, it is fully expected that those applying for membership will possess the skills and experience required to restore a range of timepieces.

Along with providing a technical resource to the members and the public, this list will provide a forum for members to discuss the the topics that are of interest to them. Watchmakers and clockmakers have a tradition as free thinkers and this will NOT be discouraged.

There are two ways to join this group. You may send a request to the moderator with a brief statement of your qualifications. Or, prospective members can be identified by existing members.
