Re: Somebody Help me out here,...
Honestly I think that some of the time the experts get annoyed at answering questions that didn't need to be asked if the original poster had done some of their own digging. I know that the first time I came to this site with a question I didn't know which fora existed or which stickies to look at. I was too excited that I finally found a place to ask my questions and get some good sound advice to actually look at the site in enough detail to see all that stuff.
Most people who are asking questions have no clue about their engines/boats and here to save some money and still be able to do something they really enjoy with their families. Bondo I personally would not have been offended by your posts because I have been here awhile.......BUT I can see how someone could have been. For a long time "ayuh" offended me because when I say it, its usually in a mocking "duh" sort of tone. Look at it from the new posters perspective. He needs help, has probably looked all over the net, knows little about motors, knows nothing about this sites layout or operation, and the first post he gets is "IF you read the sticky at the top of the forum titled "Read This First",+ answer the questions in it....". I think there are better ways to say that when you don't know who you are dealing with. There is an "annoyed" tone in the response......some people just can't handle that. JMHO
