FIRST POST>>> FIRST WORDS I TYPED ! ! !
"This is called a "divided" plate...
Blue Willow..."
Incredible.
Red coat... I commend you for filling in the blanks for the OP.
This is fine... many do it.
IF in the mood I also do it... but mostly I just do a "one liner"... a "general" thing.
Then other elaborate if they want.
Some users like Antiquarian go farther in depth... like yourself... which is very cool... and I am sure others here... including myself... appreciate.
But for me..
There are not enough hours in the day to do this on everything.
IF I did this on all "what is its"... I would spend my entire day working for others with rarely a thank you.
This... is not my idea of "fun" or "necessary".
BEINGS...
Most of the time... people who have asked for help on an ID... have not even TRIED to ID it for themselves.
And I personally am not keen on helping those who don't even try to help themselves first.
BEINGS...
WE ARE ON...
THE INTERNET.
heh
PS...
I know Google is REALLY HARD to type searches in for some... AND MIGHT even be like "work".
:P
Thanks... feathers now unruffled hopefully.
As for Google... it can be your friend or your enemy, depending on how much background knowledge you already have. I sympathise with those who have at least tried Googling but don't know if they can trust what they've found. Particularly since Google images often leads you to eBay, Pinterest, Etsy and pickclick listings of undetermined expertise.
So many members here have vast knowledge and unique backgrounds. Some just enjoy doing other's grunt work. As AARC says, there are some here, who intentionally let others burn time, looking up their new purchase, that will be listed within the day. Why do the work, if you can get others, for free, to do it. At the same time, some members enjoy the search, are aware they're being used, but are happy to do it.
Some long-time posters have unquestioned knowledge, and will perform I.D.'s reportedly off the top of their heads, their input appreciated. Then give the attitude like the underappreciated Mother, haranguing their children about all she does for them when she is so busy with more important things. That part is hard to take. So, thanks to all who take part in the subtle, easy going participation in I.D.ing stuff. Non earth shaking stuff.
I collect Greek wedding plates.
