Kudos to Verslagen -- Tech Section is EXCELLENT !!

Versy, time you got told again that you did "world class good" in organizing that Index for the Tech Section.

No matter what goes wrong with a Savage, there is a complete proven out fix sitting there waiting for somebody to SPEND A MINIMUM of effort to locate it.

Today, I had to troubleshoot a Nissan Cube driver side window issue -- there were 3 major Cube forums (two of which were totally populated by sissies and women) and the other that did have tech type how to articles, the actual articles were VERY spotty, full of lost pictures and had folks replying to the thread that the fix was wrong, or incomplete or didn't work for them.

I spend 2 hours finding out what little was available, and it wasn't good information such that we are commonly used to getting on the Savage.

Versy would NEVER tolerate such sorry shite inside our own tech section -- no sir, buddy.

All you newbies need to take your hat off to the guys who reply to your questions, the ones who prove out and post the solutions and to Versy and Dave and Serobot, the guys who keep it neat, organized and current.

If I stand tall, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants.
Without the quality of content that has been given, it wouldn't have mattered much.
A box of sh!t no matter how neatly laid is still what it is.
All our members, past and present, old salt or newb have aided in the tech section either by creating the content or inspiring it.
Necessity is the mother of invention and some of these newbs really are.

First, I'm not offended. I've seen this, maybe you said it, maybe someone else. Point is, if my posts are confusing, I need to understand what I'm doing wrong. Except for
You suck, or, you're stupid, I am willing to hear what is wrong with my posts. I want them to be helpful. I'm reading the problem and trying to either ask questions that would, when answered, tend to either lead to the answer or help us understand the problem better.

So, understand that my blood pressure is
At rest.
I'm not insulted or angry, I just want you, anyone, to tell me how I can improve my communications.

some times they are very abbreviated for the information you are trying to give, and that makes the context hard to follow for some
Or maybe I'm just dumb Grin

I understand you're trying not to type a book, and I'm sure folks who are used to your posting style get what you're saying perfectly, in fact I've seen one or more of the mods sort of 'fill in the blanks' to add context when a newb doesn't get it
for myself, for all I have learned over the years there are glaring gaps in my knowledge that likely make it worse

I'd bet the reason your advice worked so much better for JJ over the phone was, simply, that saying a thing is easier than typing it
I love my smart phone's voice to text feature for that very reason, despite the need to really enunciate when I use it
Typing is a PITA
of course feedback is faster over the phone too

My thanks to everybody here. I agree with old feller, I recently had to do some wrenching on a mitsubishi eclipse. The mitsu forums I found, when compared to this forum, are just not very good. I did finally get the eclipse running properly but info was difficult to find.

Anyway, thanks Versy, Dave, Sero, Lancer, Old Feller, Old Rider, JOG, ... thanks to everybody on this forum. This forum is the best.
