Anyone pointing to the search function instead simply answering a question or moving on without comment is simply being a jerk to someone who is asking for help.

Your posts in this string certainly fit that description.

Reading both of your posts, the second is a weak attempt to justify your bad behavior in the first.

When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

Now I have to figure out how to use the "block" function.

In that case, you should add me to your blocked list.

Mike provided a rather level headed comment about getting an opinion from someone with more than one data point, which is a suggestion well worth considering. Mike has been around for along time, and comments from years of experience, including running one of the best historical data website for 986/987 cars. He is in regular contact with a wide variety of people with extensive technical experience with these cars, so he is repository of a lot of information.

As for the comment about using the search function, far too many people ask the same question that has been asked innumerable times previously, rather than taking a few min of time to look around first. As a moderator on another Porsche technical website, I see this happen every day, when someone asks a question that has already been answered in detail more than a dozen times previously, and even has a fully detailed DIY in our tutorial section of the forum. My, and many other posters standard response is “Search is your friend”. As such, I saw Mike’s comment as a valid suggestion rather than as the criticism you seem to have taken.

Done.

And it is aptly named "ignore".

I don't care how much information you have, or how high an opinion of yourself you have. Treating people poorly is disrespectful and should not be tolerated, and "search is your friend" is insulting and arrogant.

If you're unable add value to a string stay silent.

Here is my observation, like it or not!

I didnt think Mikes post was rude, did not think the how many hundreds you installed added anything. But he did point out the need for extra data point such as in particle waves post.

The authour is being a little too sensative, to that comment.

JFP I get your po8nt about search, but its better to do a quick search add the relavent link and nicely suggest other searches will produce more info. I always do a search find lots of info manytimes its not relavent. As someone requesting help getting the search is your friend annoys me, i would prefer no reply. As a collective group I beleive we are here to support each other as enthusiasts.

That said on my part I appreciate all reesponses I have received and enjoyed discussing various topics. But you cant be overly sensative, we are all human and have various cultural backgrounds.

New people posting weekly with questions that have been answered multiple times clogs up the forum with unnessesary threads making it harder to search for what you want. Also limits the quality of your search results.

Yes i get that, but there are ways to help, they already made the post so giving them a nudge by doing a search for them and posting a link to thread helps more than saying try search engine.

My point is posting use the search is not helping and will add to the clogging. Additionally i give people the benefit of a doubt they tried a search. If you dont want to help then dont post!

I dont know alot but i have personnaly executed searches to try and help resolve a persons issue.

I'm guessing that you are probably a pretty nice person, because most people are. But you sure come across as someone that isn't in your posts in this thread.

It sounds like you were having a really bad week when you opened this thread, I hope things are going better for you now.

Please add me to your ignore list.

I have added you to mine.
