SO the irony is:

I can never get my question answered by using the built-in search... rarely does it work well... But, if I put the question in google this is the first site listed with usually the exact problem and solution....

Meh, whatever works right?

I've already come across some major tools. The guy that's never wrong and has to have the last word, the guy that's thinks if you don't have an equal car to him your a scrub...the guy that has nothing nice to say to anybody unless they are agreeing with him.

please tell me there is hope!!!
There is hope. People like you and I (and many others here) are quickly noticing who we should listen to... and who to ignore.

Just remember internet forums are where people will share their experience, and their opinions. (There is very little face-to-face contact between members so people feel especially safe to say things they would never say in person.) Some posts will be on point and helpful, some will be way out of left field, and others will be prickly know it all douchebags all the time, they just want to watch the world burn. It takes all kinds.

So... this is very true:

I would love to see an internet forum that's auto-related where people never bring their egos and never get into pissing contests just to feel better than everyone else. It just isn't going to happen. I bet the Prius forums have plenty of douchebags too.

I have found that using the advanced search and only selecting the areas where my question is likely to be answered makes for a more successful search.

Give it time...you will see there are many great people here and lots of help available. Like some of the others said, because of the anonymity people will speak their minds...and then there is the sarcasm that is sometimes hard to detect. But if you think C4 gen is tough...go hang around OT for a while...they take it to a whole different level...
