Trying to make sense of the quote posted by WDBCB20.

after reading it a few times,....I am wondering if the remarks in bold are added to the original comments,......or were they part of the original quote?

It appears that they were added to the original posts. They are WDB's remarks on alabassi's statements.

Yep, smart arse responses such as the one posted contribute nothing to the conversation. Unfortunately, every now and then, trolls like him venture out of the open discussion forum and pollute the technical sections. It really shouldn't be tolerated.

I agree. What the heck is it with this place- everyone chiming in to try to one-up someone by trying to sound smart and "technical"?

Happens a lot in this forum. I once had a dork in the vintage section get mad at me for suggesting to chain a coil to avoid it from flying out during rear suspension disassembly. Ya, know, so the operator doesn't get killed by a flying spring?

His excuse? - That I've never worked on a Wxxx EDIT: it was a W111

PS - armchair wrenches: You have NO RIGHT to comment if you've never been dirty working on a car. Yes, regurgitation of popular internet mythology only read and not experienced should not be allowed. Grammar Nazis fall into this same category.
