i am far from perfect

Ref what we've discussed, there's a post today, need MG.F wiring, it's the way he asked the question which made me turn on the sarcasm/ridicule, can't these people even look and check for themselves?  It's like stop everyone, you're duty bound to lead me through this,  will someone please agree/disagree with me? Look people no spelling errors or typos, I engaged brain and checked for once.

How did we ever achieve our results back before instant knowledge bases, why have I got loads of Cliff/Viper/West coast T shirts? It's for finding things out!  I went to the coast to do this job lovely people lovely young German Shepherd, played with him for hours, found on-site that the remote held the transponder chip not the key found all the connections, I've pointed him in the right direction, let's see how good he is. I think the way he asked the questions got up my nose!! Apart from the fact that any amateur*  in the Greater London area is taking the food from my mouth. *If he was a pro, he would have contacted DEI or had access to adatabase, he's just being lazy. New name for these people, LAMS (lazy amateurs)

CK, that one you responded to, "where to mount the anti grind relay" that's a LAMS question if ever I saw one......

oh yes. but think about it, theres even worse........."what remote start should I get?"..........."what bypass do I need"........."am I gonna need any diodes, relays, extra parts?" "whats better, tach? or voltage monitoring?" all LAMS stuff. funny thing is........aren't those the most common questions we see on here Howie? How about a "most commonly asked question" thread? anybody want to start one?

Yes who's got the courage, "stupid moronic questions for which you should enter the search button first or even engage brain." Bit long winded but that's the working title then there are those who open up "So I or  Well I" So f******g what so have we many many times. T&T... Darren you've got a LAMS with that Windstar that's why Lone Ranger was so short with him, it's a straight sympton of no tach connection.

Wow...I just noticed this post today. I really need to read something other than just what shows up on the RSS feed for Car Security and Convenience. Thanks Howie for the shoutout in an earlier post. As far as the original post, a few thoughts: 1. Firefox is free, light-years beyond Internet Explorer in terms of features and ease of use, and doesn't have the problems Netscape did in the past resulting from IE's integration with the Windows operating system(at least with XP and Vista). Among the great features of Firefox 3 is a built-in active spell check for forum posts, which has caught many an error on my part. It tends to mark technical words as erroneous, but those are easy enough to ignore. 2. It cannot be stated enough that this is a forum, NOT a chatroom. You are not going to get an instant response, but there is basically no limit to how much typing you can do in a post. Therefore, you need to put as much information as possible in your original post, and organize it so that others can read it easily. I know I almost never bother responding to questions which are disorganized and vague, and I'm sure the other experienced installers do the same. We don't have that much time to waste. 3. Good spelling and proper use of language are not traits limited to academic and business elites(maybe 10 people on this site could remotely come close to that category, yet somehow good language abounds). They have a purpose which should be blindingly obvious, namely, to enable people to communicate ideas more easily. If you type and speak in a manner that only your closest friends and family can understand, you won't communicate with everyone else on this site. If you don't communicate, you'll have many fewer people thinking about how to solve your problem, which obviously drastically reduces your chance of getting a solution. So which is more important - solving your problem or convincing your friends you're not "elite"? 4.

Spot on...did you notice the quote on my Facebook page about the matter of education? I think education is a huge problem, in America and probably in the UK. When our public schools can consistently graduate students who have higher self esteem than anyone else in the developed world and lower substantiated results, what does that say? It says to me that the schools are just lying to the students year after year. And that people can think highly of themselves despite their lack of ability to do anything useful.

Forgot to mention - for once I agree Howie's national chauvinism, specifically on the matter of baseball. But then again I live in the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Also, ironically enough, my screen name is "gangsta" in origin. I think I've come a long way in 6 years.C Renner's Auto Electronix
