Carl the bad thing about that is you got a point!

[dogma420]

The search function works just fine...not sure what everyone's issue with it is. It isn't unheard of to have to try more than one search (change your words, reword, etc)...It should be refraised as being:

If this is the way the world works, and I don't know how to use a computer, then I would never get anything done.

Honestly. I guess IMO.

How can anybody complain about someone not doing a search when a thread can go on such tangent as this one?

Seriously, as a new user I have used the search before posting and many times found what I needed. Other times I couldn't find it because I didn't know the right terminology and missed the obvious.

I've been blasted but some have been helpful enough to throw me a bone and tell me what to search for. Remember south Georgia farm boy and English translated from 30 year old Japanese are not always the same words. Heck, I ain’t even figured out where this AUST and UK are yet!

johncdeere, on a note much more pertinent than this thread, at least to me, I love that morphing avitar! How does that work? Can it be done with more than two images?

We South Georgians are allowed special consideration(especially those who drive 240Zs and Miatas!). Some say it is because we's slow, but they don't say much after that, those that are left know we kill what we don't understand-and figured it out 'fore they opened their mouths to let too many words fall out!

On the unknown letters, they aint no "where" to it! You mispelled the first word you din't know what was-an its a good old suthern word too! You AUTS to know that! :cheeky: The second is that stuf that drains out a severely oil change challenged engine-UK!-now to be sure I did try the search function, but they wasn't in there! :eek:

The back of Burke is to fer a spell to count anyways, if a 12 gauge cain't reach it, it aint there!

Seriously, they is both over yonder, past the back 40, and across the pond! I hope that gives you a good feelin' bout where that lot is!

PS. How much "learning" would we lose if the threads didn't wander?

I use all free tools at least once, the ones that work, I use all of the time!

I've purposely postponed my bit of absurd nonsense to this diarrheal diatribe in order to calm down.......

BOOO HOOOO HOOOOO

:sick: :stupid:

Someone got told to do a basic search to find the information he requests....BOO HOOO HOOO!!!!

If he just arrived on the site, a SEARCH is what brought him here in the first place. So now he expects to be able to just jump in in the middle of everything and ask a question and have EVERYONE stop what they're doing and attend to HIS problem.

If he's an old member then he knows that that's what gets posted to questions that, for those of us who do peruse this site on a frequent basis, have been answered a myriad of times before.

Whether he's a new or old member....what a bunch of whinny egotistical selfish spine-less crap that is.

Those who are accustomed to instant gratification by those who deem to give it, EXPECT the REST of the world to succumb to their selfish needs. "STOP....I need for you to do something...for ME." is their mantra. And they get petulant and offended if you don't attend to THEIR needs in short order.

You can't deny their wish, and anything less than fulfilling their wish is considered.......RUDE / OFFENSIVE / INSULTING / WRONG.

Get a grip on reality.

Only in your solipsistic view of the world, are the rest of us here to please your whinny commands.

If you want HELP, search first, you might be inundated with information and then realize why just posting your request is such a bother to the rest of us. If you don't find something, and do try, don't just gloss over the titles or the poster and decide....screw it, I'll just ask someone else to do the work for me, THEN post your question. ESPECIALLY if you are asking for help.

If you're sharing an opinion, an incident, something you've developed, etc, then by all means find the correct forum and POST IT. There's a lot out there and no one person on this site can claim to know it all. (And besides, it really IS annoying to those of us that do! )

If you find an article that SEEMS to address the problem you are having, but it doesn't answer your question, then by all means ADD to that post and ask your question. I'll guarantee that you will get a FASTER and more MEANINGFUL reply that will, additionally, BE in a similar theme post, and may have all the references right there to answer any subsequent questions.

Posting a new post means that you will have to EXPLAIN the situation in such a manner that the rest of us, who aren't standing behind you, (or holding your fat a$$ up) can understand what it is you are doing, on WHAT kind of car, and WHY you need / want / must do it.

But it SHOULD have been researched first, or you run the risk of having some very innovative, ridiculous and off the wall comments being thrown your way (Where can I find a cheap Air Dam?) or being told to SEARCH the archives!

There are excellent posts on this site. (Fix for Slow Wipers) is an example of a subject having been revisited a couple of times with new information being added.

Regardint the (Boobs!) thread.....

This site is about automobiles, specifically the Datsun Z series of automobiles. Automobiles, for the most part, tend to be something that MEN find as an interest. Men, for the most part, like women. Women, for the most part, have boobs. Now, if you don't share an interest in boobs, then you aren't REQUIRED to view the thread. If you don't share an interest for women, you aren't required to associate with them. It's not even a requirement that you be MALE to be on this site, the ONLY requirement is that you be interested in the Datsun Z.

Asking for the selection available to you be limited to only those pre-sanitized and pre-approved and stamped with some bogus seal of approval is again.....MORONIC. No one is forcing anything on you, be responsible for your own self TO your own self and don't go where whatever is there might offend you.

That slimy drool of a thought that says we must all behave to satisfy your paranoical diseased mind is thought only by you. No one on this earth is here to please YOU, they're here only to please THEMSELVES. If they happen to please you in the process, consider it a gift. The stupid general consensus that dictates we must all behave in such a manner that we don't offend our sensitive brethren fails to note that we can't PLEASE them either. Not only do they expect the rest of the world to go hunt down, prepare, cook, serve, cut into small pieces and feed them the meat, they also want us to pre-digest it and then vomit it into their gullet so all they have to do is sh!t? And then bitch that they didn't like the taste or got diarrhea???? Get a grip on life or get out.

There are some posters who can be found to peruse this site more often than others. Yes, that's true. It's a fact of life that others don't share all the same interests nor obligations as you. They can allocate their time as THEY see fit, not you. If you don't like that.....TOUGH. Find a different mix of interests that will then allow you to do the same, or whatever it takes, but the bottom line is Lump it or Love it.

My "turd" onto this pile of dung.

During my writing my previous post to this thread the following was posted on the site. At the time I found it it only had the first response to the original post.

http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?p=127159#post127159

Aussie260Z and Alex 240Z; would you two mind answering this guys questions?

And be sure to let him know that the problem more than likely begins in the Hazard Switch, which, if he'd done a search in the first place, he'd have his answer by now instead of dealing with a whole new batch of issues. Or you can spend the next few hours / days transcribing all of the posts to previous discussions of the same issue.

Another good example:

http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?p=127127#post127127

This one has been asked and answered so many times that it took 50 or 60 views before anyone would answer it. ( I had to edit this statement because me pointing it out obviously led to some members answering the question. )

But actually what would really help kill off repeated answers like this would be to form a real tech section at this site. NOt just another forum but a moderated authored tech section. Actually I've talked to Mike about this and meant to give him a hand but I've just been too busy. For an idea of what I'm talkign about check out this site: Dat1200 tech section The articles are nicely organized, and the articles themselves are comprehensive, continually updated by the authors (some anyway) and filled with pics and links to relevant topics and pictures on the site. Comments and suggestions are made to the author and not strewn about on the website. This is just my opinion but I think this type of tech section is much more effective than out thread articles and are a great place for a new member to start and probably answer most questions like this without searching or posting repeats. The tech section here is decent but it's really just a mess and difficult to use compared to a more book-like section.

[Fun_in_my_z]

If you dont have time to answer a question then why come here?

[Bambikiller240]

Same reason you play with "breats" all day. For our own enjoyment.

[Aussie260z]

Wow...........that was a conversation starter :surprised

[mperdue]

Something else that could help is a tech FAQ, since that's what we're talking about here - frequently asked questions...
