About Answering Tech Questions-Sticky/Top??
I know everyone wants to help and answer questions but it seems lately everyone is giving there opinion and not answers.People ask to get the right answer not thoughts on it and usually crazy thoughts,It worries me that someone is going to get hurt by all the bad info flying around on here.It seems people come in for fun and dont realize that the people are looking for correct answer,some for serious problems that people give answer that have nothing to due with the problem .Now they have to worry about who to listen to because they dont know who's right...You know what I'm saying??Working on cars is fun and lets try to keep it fun not dangerous which some answers I see could be unless they are corrected by someone who actually knows what there talking about.So please everyone answer question that you know and can help with,dont answer for the post count or to add your thoughts.Someones life could be riding on it.
This is by no means directed to anyone imparticular, its to everyone.There are alot of knowledgeable people on here and if you dont knowthe answer let someone who does know answer so there is no confusion with the answers
Edit:I mean this in the nicest way possible, I'm not trying to ruffle anyones feathers
. I'm not even sure that anyone else feels this way but it just seems crazy lately!.......No??If I'm wrong let me know[8D]

RE: About Answering Tech Questions
I agree, but I should say...if your doing something important to your safety (Like installing a rear axle, not waxing and washing) consult a professional. You should never put your life into the hands of someone on the internet. If you do, that's not very smart.
On forums you should maybe be searching for people's opinions, general discussion, and tips on minor things. If it is something that your life depends on, really...ask a professional.
