They have the knowledge and facts to back up their opinions because they have worked on 100's if not 1000's of Porsches. I will take their advise over anyone who has owned only one or two Porsches. Their knowledge is empirical, mine and most others on this board are only anecdotal in origin.
Given the length of time that they have been advising, I would not dispute that. It doesn't give one the license to be condescending or disdainful. My original comment was almost rhetorical in nature that if an owner wishes to handle IMS work at the same time as clutch work (many threads here mentioning that as a best practice) that's great, but what if the owner still has a 'perfect' clutch? Then they (the owner) have a decision to make.

If you read a question or comment on a thread (in ANY user forum) that you think is stupid, or pointless or evidence of someone being mentally retarded (to use hyperbole), why answer it? Just move on. If you think that it's all of the above, but you actually wish to help, then ask for clarification. It may be a matter of semantics or other as to why you think that way.

P.S. the "You" is a generalization of a the forum user
