you guys missed the point of the post. I wasnt saying we should go that route, I was merely stating how it worked and what the advantages were. I havent asked for any help yet. I have only Tried to help others. Maybe YOU should learn more and talk less douchebag :
anyway if you guys think its not worth the time to post what you found then so be it

I am assuming you mean my overheating issue post I had, I am always willing to help out others and do the best I can, I may not post up what i found with my issues, I am a part of other boards also and cannot always keep up, also have a boat to work on, house to deal with and lots of other things, I don't always remember what posts I have to reply to...

I did throw out a reply on that post.
This is a good place to learn and search for issues, it has helped me alot, but if you are new around here I would not start throwing weight around, saying you know more then someone else forgot is not a great idea when you have no idea what they know, there are alot of people here with great knowledge and others not so great, nobody is the smartest, all of us have had different experiences and most learn more every day!!

Full Force - post was not directed at you. I read your recent post and thank you for that. And Youre right I shouldnt have said that because I dont know what someone else knows BUT
they missed the whole POINT of the post. FYI I had my first membership on OSO about 5yrs ago. I dont know - maybe that is considered New around here

Obviously with only 24 posts to your credit, you have no clue as to how things work around here. Oh and what a great job of establishing credibility with the comments you have made. We don't need members like you.

I have always been of the opinion that if you ask for something and it's given to you, you have an obligation to acknowledge it and return the courtesy. If you get 5 or 6 people to take the time to share knowledge & experience with you, the least you can do is come back and say "thanks and this is what worked..."

The other thing that I find irritating is the guy that posts a simple tech question on 6 different boards. If someone here can't answer your question, you're probably screwed. There are smart people on the other boards too- pick one.

Lookin: Your initial thought for this thread was very valid- your approach missed the mark. Especially the thread title. Calling people names doesn't add much validity to your positions.

As I have no post count on here....but I was thinking the same thing I usually just read everything I can find for the knowlege on here. But I can see the point of this post since sometimes you can do a search on here find what you are looking for then read 3 or so pages of posts only to come to the end and never find the answer to the question. Seems like a let down at the end since there is a huge amount of knowlege on this board. Thats my wooden nickle since I can't afford the 2 cents...
