Now consider how many completly stupid answers he gets from the morons that don't really know what their talking about. After a while of hearing complete stupidity instead of helpful answers it's now wonder the post have slowed down. I can't tell you how many times I've posted because I want to try something different, and the number one answer for the self appointed experts is "follow the plans". Some answer for an experimental group. Lou Hi Lou, I don't know you from Adam, but I agree with this 100%. We seem completely overwhelmed with negative contributors, and real short on positive input. One of my observations has been how quickly someone suggests we can solve all questions by sending the posted to search the archives. It always completely ingores the possibility someone might have joined the group recently with fresh input on a subject. Agreed, but I'd add doing an archive search isn't always easy if you don't ask the question correctly in the first place. I have had cases where I have gotten the answers I news groups when someone points out the correct term for something. I would direct someone to archives if they want more than what I can give.

True Dan, one of my downfalls is the correct term for what I'm asking.
I've only been into flying and homebuilding for the last five years and when I started asking questions (or even now), I would ask with the wrong term and boy, did I hear it. On the other hand, most of the time when I would ask a question, I would hear a from a dozen posters that you could just tell, didn't have a clue how to answer. Lou |
