Like Boiler says, this site is a resource for research. It's an encyclopedia, not a personal assistant. There have been many times that the questions you've posted in the past were so blatantly easy to find that on several occasions, I've found myself typing up a reply to your post with nothing more than a link to the search results for your question only to talk myself out of posting it so maybe you'd do some reaserch and find the answer yourself. Problem is, if you give a man a fish, he eats for a day but if you teach him to fish, he eats for the rest of his life. Same thing with just giving you the answers to your basic questions. It's not hard to just answer it for you but not only does it not teach you proper forum etiquette, but it also creates many unnecessary threads that other people who are searching the forum have to wade through to find their answer and also makes more work for the mods as they merge pertinent threads together.

I try to maintain an even stance on the forum but you're attacking a member that offers a whole lot to this forum. You and him seem to have been butting heads and it really needs to stop.

Darticus, you need to search and search and search before you post a question. This car has been around for a while and I'd say that a great majority of the questions you'll have in the future have already been asked AND answered.

Boiler, don't use the F-word on the forums when telling someone to use the search function.
