But, someone who evidently lacks any clue, may be
benefited more in the end by showing them how to
find their own info, than by simply giving them the
short answer. Teach a man to fish, and all that.

and theres yet been a question i havent been able to get an answer myself by searching around. out of almost 6500 post i've only started 52 threads, some people *cough*blackbeeasst*cough* start that many on a daily basis.

all i ask is that you at least attempt to help yourrself first.

I use the search button a lot now. When I was new I had problems with starting new threads that shouldnt have been started. However searching sometimes is very misleading. For instance, If you were to search for porting mass air flow units and the question was only asked once it would be a bad outcome. Because from what I know this is known to be bad now.

Also when I search for something when im having a problem its like 99% of people ask the question and never actually say what was wrong. I always leave feedback to how I found what was wrong and how I fixed it. So other people dont have to go throught 100 post with no answer.

Im not saying people should post the post like whats brand x sound like ect. But some more technical question are good to be posted as well as searched for.
