i really dont think it will work and i didnt post this for the hopes that it does i just thought it was funny as crap and thought some others on here would to so i posted it. shoot i only search for something once and then post a new thread if i cant find the info that i am looking for and sometimes i just feel lazy and just start a new thread without even looking at all. i can tell you that 99% of the time i never even click to see what is on page 2 and spend most my time just reading the new threads which is where i get most my knowledge from.

Cheezzzus...boy..being a newbee...I must not be very biright! What's a search...duh!
I may be a newbee to this forum...but I do know a little bit about posting and searching...most of the time I can't find what I'm looking for because I don't know exactly what to search for.....How do you search for " that thingamajig right behind the whoositz"?
I didn't know that this site was a democracy...I thought it was owned by someone....I like this site from what I've seen so far, that is why I paid to become a member...and by the way, since I paid, I will utilize my right to post...If you don;t want to read what I post, then as someone previously said....don't read it!
For those of you who do help me as I restore my 70, I appreciate the help and will try to return the favor.

The day this forum turns into a bunch of pompous azzhats that don't feel the need to help is the day I loose interest. Now, I am off to our new St. Louis C3 Sharks Club Tech day to help anyone who needs it.

I know it doesn't get said enough, so here goes:
To all of you with a great deal of knowledge that take the time to share it with those of us who need it, thank you.

What did I accuse you of? Maybe you should take a little of your own advice and look at the post a little closer before you start raving. No one said you said anything about a thousand post. Yes I did bash you for something I find pretty STUPID. Just my opinion of course. Boy you really do need to get laid and oh yeah, go for a ride in your vette, like none of us has ever done that.
Ease up already and BTW "Get Bent" , for your for your little arrogant artwork at the end..........................LT

Sometimes I get tired of seeing the same type of thread repeated over and over, especially when two or three of them are running at the same time. That doesn't mean that another thread 3 months later should not be started. A new thread will have different posts by other members. If everyone searched prior to posting, the number of new threads would be cut by 10 in the tech forum. I am fortunate that I can view the forum throughout the day. I only look at threads that appeal to me. I like this forum because of its activity. If there were very little posting going on it would soon become boring.

Ease up, grow up, get laid, do something. This is supposed to be fun, if you dont like it, dont open it. See thats pretty easy ...........LT

I actually thought your original post was a little funny......
Now the Noob says...Let it go everyone and enjoy this day as I know it is very special for some of you. There is enough hate in this world.

again you really need to take your time and read the post before bashing me or anyone else. i never said anything about taking a ride in my vette sense i cant back that up because i am still restoring it and it is NOT driveable at the moment but what i actually said was i go for rides on my motorcycle. and oh yah im not going to ease up when you started flaming me first by telling me to get laid which goes back to me telling you to read the posts COMPLETELY because like i said before i have a wife and i can get laid whenever i want. and finally i would like to throw this little picture in just for you sense you only seem to look at the pictures in a thread and only browse a few words here and there.

Simply "GET BENT". Boy I hate to see these same posts about newbys and someone asking the same questions over and over and over and...........LT
