He is also one of the very few that actually helps people on a very regular basis, usually posting up the exact diagram or pictures to help someone along. I seriously think he has the manual memorized
I agree that Dave needs to take it easy on some of the younger guys, especially ones who are trying to get new products to us, but for the most part, aside from the humor, I consider Dave to be one of the most helpful members here....
I've never met 180, but I totally agree with you ..... younger newbies can be a PIA.... Geez, now I sound like the old fart I am! Even when I was an "old newbie", I asked some "stupid" questions when I first joined this forum about 2 yrs ago (maybe less) .... and then I learned to use the search feature. Besides, he's usually spot on when it comes to picking on some people about NOT searching, and then in the same post explaining the solution to their request. We all had to learn to search. That's where 90% of what I now know about our cars has come from. My thought regarding the younger newbies, is that they grew up in the "want it now" time. Drive thru windows, remotes, DVD recorders, Cell phones, and sneakers with lights in the heels. Their learning curve is warped by impatience! Its our impatience, about their impatience, that ticks us off. I understand his wry sense of humor, and because it is mostly my alter-ego, it cracks me up! Just sayin.....
