I love new members, but I don't think spoon-feeding helps a lot.
I think a little effort should be put into searching once in a while instead of asking us to do the research for you.
If an answer can't be found or more help is needed, then we're all here to help and advise.
Just MO. :) :poke2:

I completely agree.

Thing is, I know where all of this stuff is without effort. And, undoubtedly, someone in the future will search for a valve adjustment guide in passing and come across this thread. Might as well make them all useful. Then after years and years of piling up links to the How-to's, we can just start banning people who can't figure it out on their own because there will be hundreds of linked threads..... ;)

I'm only kidding.


Or am I?

We must also consider there may be a complete newbie to forums and not realize there are search functions and how to's. I speak from past personal experience. It was nice to be pointed in the right direction.

That thread you, LOF, just referenced took me less than 5 seconds to find in the How-to section. It's 10th on the list scrolling down, and I would bet there would be at least 20 or more threads on here about adjusting valves that would pop up in a search, I also basically told him where to look, where it was, and I don't want to chase anybody away, but they could look too, or at least say thanks after their question is answered and they are directed where to go. Maybe he hasn't come back yet, but it would be nice to hear from him again.
And, WW, he's been on here for 9 weeks, I'm sure he's looked a little around the forum and knows by now there is How To section and a search function.
OK, sorry for the rant, I take it all back, But Search is everybody's friend.

Having people not come back to follow-up on a thread is a disturbingly common issue on forums and it drives me insane.

The only thing worse than asking for advice and then not responding with a "thanks" or something along those lines is to be active on a thread until you get the answer you want, and then vanish. People will be diagnosing a problem, and then once they fix it, they never update the rest of the community on what they were able to to do to fix the problem. They're usually only here long enough to get the answer they want and then they vanish, which does absolutely no good for the greater knowledge.

Oh well. It's a public forum and that's just one of the drawbacks. What can you do?
