I'm not picking on Juddy. It just brought to light something that has bugged me for ages. People replying to threads that haven't read the post properly, or particuarly blundering in and posting details of vehicles or equipment thinking they are helping but in the process stuffing up someone elses deals.

Information is very important, and should be treated as such. There is nothing worse than recieveing the wrong info, because if you rely on it it can cost the person asking the question a great deal if time, effort and money.

Since the beginning of the year, this type of self-gratifying help has deeply wounded me leading to the loss of a vehicle. Sorry if I'm a bit testy.

Then - it was a shame for you to have lost a vehicle however, I think the point here would be that we should not limit ourselves to one source of info.

You are very right - Info is important and the wrong info can be worse. However there are a lot of people here trying to do the right thing and they shouldn't be discouraged. The responsibility for using info rests with the fella asking for it - that person makes the decision.

Anyway - I am off my soap box and we should get back to the thread.

Putting a question up on a forum is like buying a car - Caveat Emptor

It is up to the poster to work out what is relevant and what is less relevant - but it is also up to the respondent to be as honest and truthful as possible - an I am sure most people try to be - however if unsure of something - say so.

I think that when all responses are considered, rather than just on or two, the correct answers are obvious.

Thanks, I would appreciate that. I'm not a big fan of thread hijacking, and I'm not gunna waste any more time than this post crapping on about it.

Well Murray we must be destined to catch up I have at my shed a set of army series 3 guards with the tools holders on them so you can get the positioning spot on with your series 2 shorty. Call you some time today.
Kindest regards

Read the question, research your facts, be prepared to be flamed if it is wrong.

This kind of rush to do good, costs other people.

Tell you what mate - you are picking on people, and you are an A grade (bonnet) tool (clamp) in my books. Perhaps if (bonnet tool) knobs like you weren't so quick to blindly follow advice without doing their own "research" they wouldn't run into problems.

Out.

Not taking sides here, but did we really need to dig out a 2 day old thread to have a go at someone, for having a go at someone else?
