Okay, the gig is up. I'm trying to make a point here. It's not that I think people are ignorant or impatient, they just need a little direction up-front. I mean, after reading so many posts about people washing their engines and then having problems I think it's time to have a sticky on posting etiquette. Yes, we will need to suffer through novice posting behaviors, but I really like having a useful discussion board. One where you can post at the end of thread and not feel like it's going to get lost under the piles of new threads of people needing to be told to remove the water from thier spark plug holes. A better question is what the hell are you doing washing your engine anyway?
Are diesel drivers smarter or just better behaved? Look at the ratio of threads-to-posts on Diesel Discussion and compare it to the ratio for Tech Help. Is there any surprise that there's a sticky there telling people to search?
I am becoming envious of those brainy diesel drivers with their biodiesel and their tidy forums. I just can't take another dolt with an inane problem that is addressed dozens and dozens of times. And this is the dolt that doesn't thank those who responded. Why do we respond? Because we like to help other people. All we expect is to have our contribution recognized.
(and no, I don't have an Acura)
