I agree to you thread somewhat

You have to see the good side to this-

Seeing this also means your thread was just moved to the top and that of course means that more people will see you thread,which in turns means that more people with logical answers will answer your thread

So in closing,a little isn't such a bad thing

More importantly. Has any one ever asked the question "Why would you beat a dead or a live horse?" I can't imagine beating a horse at all.

I post on several dozen PHP forums and I always search FIRST - especially a Google search with "site:forums.corvetteforum.com" qualifier than search the site - and THEN ask the question.

I understand what your point is - however the same old questions ad nauseum is eventually quite tiresome especially when the answers are usually on page 2 or 3.

Not true, if you post a thread asking for someone opinion then you better be able to take a few negative opinion since you did ask for thier opinion.

Also I guess to many people follow that rule and that is why we see so many overweight girls in crop top and hip hugger. Also along with so many brutal singers trying out for American IdoI when they can't sing but it is entertaining.

BTW I am planning to put this on the vette, remember only say nice things

I see a difference in a Newbie asking a question......vs. someone with multipile stars by their name asking a question thats been asked before.

Rarely have I saw a newbie get flamed for asking an old question......

Additionally, I think its part of the fabric of a Public Forum for people to express their opinion regardless of their input......if they want to say so be it and move on. Interesting topic....Thanks for posting.

Next thing you know you'll be in ET's camp as well.

And I thought you were an independent thinker like myself.

Zilla - that is a mighty nice looking piece of crap on the back of your sportscar. Did you steal that ironing board from the store or did someone feel sorry for you and let you take it off the pile of garbage? Is that nice enough?



I stand by my origninal comment, some of the folks around here need to and stop taking this stuff so seriously. Like Harry Truman said - "If you can't stand the heat in the kitchen - get out!"
