First of all, I'm impressed you took the time to lookup and paste all of the thread references on the top (I've done this on occasion myself). Secondly, I'm always a little surprised (and agitated) how many different threads pop up on the same general topic. I'm on a constant mission to teach people how the Pinside search function works.
Quoted from Tranquilize:There really is not point in teaching. I've tried this in owners threads. There's a new newb every week asking the same damned question that's been discussed 8000 times, and I become the 'asshole' no matter how polite I try to educate.
Where it as a badge of honor my friend, and keep up the good fight!
Added over 2 years ago:Oops, I meant "wear".
