Why doesnt anyone share tech info??
 
You know, we all try to help one another out w/ technical forums. We take time from our busy schedules to read the posts and try to answer questions to the best of our ability all in order to help the next guy who might not be familiar with a specific problem. And you know hardly ever does anyone post the fix after its done. I dont think thats too much to ask.

I used to be an auto tech and belonged to an organization called ""IATN" You could ask other techs for help on a particular problem and they would respond from all over the world. A great concept and resource> BUT if you didnt also contribute and share info including, and especially the fix for the problem, your rating dropped. If it went low enough you were locked out and couldnt post anymore which made perfect sense to me.

So come on guys lets start posting the fixes also so we can all benefit from our efforts. What do you think??

Because nobody likes you.:evilb:

But really, you can't be serious. I have found the performance boating world to be more open with shaing their technical know-how and secret sauces than any of the dry-land motorsports.

Hang around a while, ask follow-up questions when you see an open issue hanging, and open your own threads with specific questions...and be sure to include relevant datapoints if you want suggestions for diagnosis.
