Hello Mikael; I can understand your concerns & your laments & can appreciate your viewpoint/s.quote:Originally posted by No Quarter:
George, are you reading this? Could we maybe agree there's a place for all these ramblings and funny and quaint inputs, and stories from the old days etc., and that place is Alejandro's Neighbourhood Pub, the Socializing Forums. And that the others, or at least the Technical Forum is kept free from that?
When I from time to time post a question on the Technical Forums, I'd like technical advice, and not see my thread being hi-jacked by inputs that have nothing to do with my problem.
I've been on this Forum for almost a decade, and IMHO it's gone seriously downhill in the last year, due to the above.

In the strictest sense of the word, YES, you are right!
There are those in this forum ( myself included) that possibly believe that topics of all manners & forums are tangential, and as such possess the ability/ies to venture/explore beyond the initial specific topic.
I personally both enjoy & benefit from a more shall me say (relaxed discussion) than from a regimented one.
I believe that Mike was given very sound advice, even though "Kentucky windage", "brown sugar cubes", "Tricky Dick on LSD", etc,etc,etc, PLUS! people were educated in that there is a large chasm of difference between "self defecating" & "self deprecating"...( well maybe NOT Doug
). ALL of this included in a very informed ( In my opinion) discussion of distributor installation. I benefited from your post/s Mikael in that I like your idea of positioning the cap for the least amount of wires not crossing over themselves
Regulating ALL external "fringe" posts from the various forums would essentially turn Pantera International into a "Sterile Environment" VOID of any nuances that I believe ADD to the overall "Good Natured Feel" of this website.
Some people go to work with a tie that NEVER gets loosened all day, whilst others go to work in Cargo shorts, as long as everybody contributes to the overall benefit of the task at hand, then I believe the pool is OPEN for everyone to jump in!!!...just provided that Doug DOES NOT show up wearing his European Speedo!
