Hi Recce, The discussion is drifting into pedantic detail. The fact that 24 to 48 hours has passed is based upon working days, not calendar days.The thread appears to have moved past information. There isn't much to be gained by flogging a dead horse.
Posts should add to the discussion rather than debate minuté. Some important information and advice has been posted, and it is there for the benefit of all. Should individual issues arise, like the Black Watch Spring document, the advice has been given and the matter should be pursued off Forum. And, please note, LAC is not the repository in question for the Spring document. The document web host appears to be DND. Complaints should be directed their way.
Those who have posted on this thread have the expertise to find the material they are seeking. It is a matter of "learning the ropes", and getting advice to expedite the search. Some of the posters, including yourself, have been using the LAC for a considerable time and, even when there is an official process, dealing with the bureaucracy of a large institution can result in all kinds of unexpected outcomes. What was true for one research request at one time may be completely different the next. Sometimes contradictory explanations has come from staff at the institution. By discussing the access to the LAC, and research processes, the thread hopefully will keep the wrinkles out of the task. Nothing worse than making a special trip, only to find nothing is available.
