Default Patriot Heads?

Why are they so cheap in price? Does the quality reflect the cost? Any patriot users have any problem with them?

You know what amazes me. The entire premise of this board is to provide people with a forum in which to interact with one another in a way that encourages the exchange of worthwhile information. That's why it is called a "bulletin board" and not a search engine. If all the newbs are supposed to do is search as soon as they come to this board then why don't we just eliminate their ability to post altogether.

01C564C, to answer your actual question, and avoid all this "beating a dead horse" bullshit, the PP heads are not all that bad. They don't flow quite as well up top as some of competitor's heads, but a little smoothing by hand seems to help them out quite a bit. And it isn't hard to do either.

"IF". Some people actually make a conscience decision to ask someone rather than doing a search. It is their perogative. There are even times when I would rather ask a question with a new post rather than search.

Who are we to discourage someone from asking a question in a new post rather than doing a search? Tell me you disagree Jerami.

I agree, it is every persons perogative to start a new post. Its also our perogative to flame the **** out the subject b/c its been discussed a billion times. I personally have no problem with new posts, as long as people have searched a good deal and read as much as they can(not a few posts here and there) and then ask an INFORMED question. There is a cornicopia of information on this site, and while it IS a message forum, there also IS a reason they have kept every single post from day one searchable and updated nightly.....so the board can make forward progress w/o dwelling constantly. Its frustrating to see people not take advantage of such a gold mine.

new people have new information all of the time. New people try the new parts and can testify to them. You wouldnt get this "New" information without starting a new thread...

just my 2 cents

Noones trying to dog you man, but alot of us are on this forum ALOT and we see the same questions asked over and over and over and over and over and over. Theres sometimes the same question 5 different times on the first page.
