keeping this section stricly on dry technical reading....doesnt apeeal to me...at all.
i can get that from any good tech book...
tech is just that tech.
we arent building cookie cutter widgets here..
so rarely are two combo's exactly the same.
its the human feed back..and real world input/output that makes forums like this truely great..
i also find it more enjoyable that way.
the soap opera parts i just personally edit out.
or steer around..
its not that hard to do. really....
plus its way better than the old options we used to have...magazines and print media..
we all just need to learn to keep our "filters" on when we use the net.. ...so to speek..
its the P/C mentality.that creates the thin skin......
. My grandfather used to tell me..."I like stew with real chunks of meat and veggies and the more the better...it puts meat on your bones.
the other stuff is just hot water"
cheers

 Annecdotal reports are the most fun thing about this site..or any site for enthusiasts. That combined with expert advice is what makes this site rock. For that reason it is the envy of most other moparts wannabes, IMHO.

Hmmmm..Well I do not contribute to many tech questions anymore for a lot of reasons. Some stated and some not. I appreciate the input from EVERYONE whenever I post a question and I listen to all of it, and we makes changes accordingly and see what the results net us. Usually we find someting good and go from there.

Two good posts here, that reflect the impressions of many. Nobody knows it all, but there are some here, who TRULY know a lot, and many here, who THINK they know a lot. Posting here can be difficult at times, as some just take every opportunity to jump on and argue, whether they are correct or not. Knowledgeable people get tired of defending themselves and just eventually quit posting, or cut way back. Most don't take it personally, but it does get old, so whats the point.

thanks Monte for this post. You got into words what I could not.

Fact is I spend a bunch of time on the computer, more than I should...It has been this way since the Windows 98 platform came out LOL. I post what I feel will help, 99% of the time someone has already posted the same thing...So I know i am on the right track as some. I try to either add or clarify on the points trying to be made. If I am the first poster reply, I post what info what I feel is needed good or bad. Some people dont care to much for people telling them what to do, or how to approach the problem... They dont take criticism very well... Why bother to post, knowing your going to do what you want to anyhow. Hey If someone has a better way or a better idea on how to make my car go faster..Im all ears. And if anyone disagrees with your or my suggestion...well there isn't much you can do, so why argue and look like fools. I have learned a bunch from this web site over the years. I know there is certain members that hasnt ever been down the drag strip, and has never actually built or raced a 10,9,8,or 7 second car..But they sure can tell one how to race i,t build it, and adjust it. These group of guys are awesome in there own mind, and rule the world of keyboard racers. I personally have been deep 7's with my home built junk..and when I say home built I mean completely assembled here at home...From the trans to the rear end narrowing, engine etc. The current car will be the the 4th race car assembled and raced at the Coomer House Hold in the last 7 years.

I think some people are taking this way out of context. Nobody is saying you can't joke around and get a little off subject here and there. But bickering and taking jabs at someone like a 2nd grader is just ridiculous. I believe that is what the biggest problem is. I'm as thick skinned as anyone out there. I don't care what anyone thinks of me but I'm not gonna get in an elementary argument with someone that just wants to argue for the hell of it. Its not a problem of being offended or getting hurt feelings. Its a problem with most of us don't have time for the bullshit!
I think there are some very good people that offer help here,there are some that add a little humor and sometimes a little friendly banter back and forth.It's definately not boring.It's when some want to argue,belittle, and demean others,that it becomes an issue of disrespect and a display of ignorance.That part is unnecessary and serves no purpose.This site doesn't have to be strait laced,we can enjoy each others opinions,knowledge and humor with out being offensive.I always enjoy post from guys like HemiFred and Wild Bill and others that add color and interest to their response and enjoy their post.Even Boomer in his own twisted humor is entertaining.
