Post What to do when asking for help!!!

When asking for help with something what is so hard about telling folks what kind of car you are driving??? Why do you ask about hard starting and not include where you are and the weather?? Why so secretive about everything, including yourself???

Sometimes it can be implyed by a persons sig, if they have only one car listed, but thats no excuse. Its very difficult trying to answer and usually only a vague answer is possible with out specific information.

That information is classified. I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you.

ya, it is so much more thoughtful to have your location and car model listed in every posting. I suppose some folks just have not figured out how to use the signature, took me a while too.

So for you anonymous slackers :
click "User CP" in upper left corner,
click "Edit Signature" on left hand side,
enter the goods in the dialogue box,
save changes.

Thanks in advance for your anticipated cooperation

I have noticed this trend across the board, I am active on several different motorcycle boards, and as they mature and membership and post count grows, more and more people seem to give less and less data. No location, no profile, thread titles that tell you little or nothing about the subject, etc. etc. Kinda frustrating, but they end up hurting their own efforts more then anything.

that reminds me of the customer...

that came into my Home Depot while at work. He picked up a switch and then asked me "is this what I need?" then he waited for me to respond.
