We
are in favor of exchanging inofrmation, Bradley. We simply exercise caution in
how we exchange it. (By the same token, someone could ask
you why you seem to be in favor of a
reckless exchange of information.) So, again, we
do favor exchanging information. We just take reasonable caution. That doesn't require a degree in physics to understand, does it?
Oh, please.
No one is "threatening" you, Bradley. At least,
I don't see anything resembling a threat on this board. (How 'bout the rest of you guy --- A John? Propilot? Guitarman? Just Ken? Jake? If you guys happen to see poor Bradley being threatened, please be sure to raise a red flag, okay? )
No one's being "elitist" here, either, Bradley. But, remember, people associate with those they're comfortable with. And they share information with those they're comfortable with. If someone on this board makes others uncomfortable, folks aren't likely to associate or share with that individual. You'll have to figure out how others perceive you, Bradley. No one can do it for you. If you don't seem to be obtaining what you want, then maybe the answer can be found in the mirror. (Not a sermon, just a suggestion.)
We were sharing information just fine, long before you got here, Bradley. And guess what? We're going to
continue sharing it.
But "facilitate" does not mean folks can't place filters on the sharing of the info they have,
especially since that information was obtained via the expenditure on time and money. We are
NOT going to share it with someone we perceive as a careless (or obnoxious) dweeb. We'll share it with those who meet our comfort level. So, if you feel there is any "hinderance" afoot, mirrors are widely available items.
So, to recap: As G'man has said and demonstrated, LEO uses this board to develop leads. With that understanding, a monger would have to be pretty dense to give
more details than necessary. And, as A John has said, I'm done with this subject. If you don't like the detail (or lack thereof) in my posts, put me on your Ignore List. (It's a free country.) But, if you want info that I've spent my own
time and money gathering, well then, you'll have to adjust your behavior and attitude a bit. I'm sure you're just a swell guy, but if ya wanna hang wid me those are
my conditions. If ya don't wanna hang wid me, that's okay also. I'll try not to lose too much sleep over that. And if I'm getting my chassis serviced by a skilled technician, I'll try not to feel too guilty if my review excludes the name of the technician or the garage she works at. Besides, you probably wouldn't like the garages I visit. They're dirty, staffed by old technicians, and they give lousy service a lot of the time. But, somehow, I still manage to leave as a satisfied customer.
