Could everyone please read what's been posted before posting. We have NINE posts about the Data Recorder.

That's means everyone after sotirisf really needs to pay attention. For those who started thread SEVEN, EIGHT, and NINE, please check the politics category because you would be interested in the post informing you that President Kennedy has been shot.

I'm looking to find the word "moderator" in your title/username area but I can't find it. When were you put in charge of who posts what?

Good luck but I'm with you

I started a similar thread a few weeks back and it didn't go over too well either.



I expect a noob to not know better but it really is frustrating to see new thread after new thread started by those who SHOULD know better, about the exact same thing when all it would take is to use the #@*%$ SEARCH function.

I mean how many new threads need be started to discuss Z51 vs non-Z51? Or how long it takes to receive your ordered car?

Simple rule of thumb folks - if you find a story about the C7 that is more than a day old, chances are DAMN good someone has already posted about it so use the #$!*@#@@*# SEARCH function before you start #233 thread about the same thing. Is that too hard to ask?

/rant off

Really no point for this thread. Do you really think this is going to make a difference? When this happens, we usually consolidate and/or close the duplicates, but it might not be on your timeline. After all, we (the moderators) are just unpaid volunteers that do have other things to do in our lives.
