Of course its a matter of Judgement. Basically, when you reference other threads, try to make sure you're leading someone to the right source, that it is relevant and if the thread rambles, as many of them tend to do, point them to the right part of the thread. As with everything on Mudcat there are varying degrees. Some threads are concise, well illustrated answers, some are rambling garbage. Most are in between. If you point to a thread, please tell the person what to look for and how it relates.
