Thats not the point, the point was that its not difficult to introduce
some parameters to help the OP to search for in case they havent
considered them. I've no problem with telling him to search all day
long but give him an idea what to consider while searching thats all.
Just seemed a little harsh - like if you came to me and asked what
turbo to buy for you car, maybe having no idea, and I just said 'One
that blows air out, search usenet' - you'd have no idea where to start
and no idea what to look for - would you know about trim and clipping?
Compressor sizes, over-spin?

Ah, but if said noob came to you and asked, but also told you what NOT to
tell him, you might cop a 'tude. (Dude.)

It's like those yahoos who come in with a question, but then demand private
e-mail answers. Doesn't work that way, yer friggin' highness.

Ahh, but parameters *were* introduced. Nobody said anywhere "do a
google search" (as in the "search the web for all the useless **** and
hype.")

You seem to be having difficulty separating the "********, n00b" search
suggestions from the "narrow your request a little" suggestions.

They are absolutely not the same thing. I understand completely that
you don't like the snobbish "********, n00b" responses. But that
didn't happen here, and now you're just ranting against that in
general, using this thread as a vehicle.

E.P.

I drive a truck and ride a motorcycle, neither of which will ever need
a turbocharger. However, if I had a question for a newsgroup about
turbo chargers, I would read deeply into threads about them and my
particular needs to learn about all of the nuances. You apparently
need a lesson in how to use Google to search a newsgroup for
information. The major problem here is mostly societal in that most
people nowdays want to get something for nothing and pronto. People
don't feel like helping themselves, hence the welfare state in the USA
and other countries that allow slackers to live off the hard work and
perseverance of others.

Not at all.

Simply telling you what it looked like to a non-regular, not ranting
about anything - god help you if i get into a rant - i was simply
discussing it. It wasnt me who originally spotted the thread and
thought it looked that way, it was a mate whos not a regular here - i
just fancied throwing in a comment about it as i saw his point.

Then why are you griping at me? I provided search parameters that
produced good info. Not all-inclusive, but a good place to start.

Oh, it was your *friend* who can't tell the difference. Great. Tell
him/her to post him/herself instead of hiding behind you,
ferchrissakes. I'm not sure *how* you can see his/her point,
considering I didn't do what you're complaining about. Ooops, what
he/she is complaining about. Sheesh, this third person thing sucks.
If a non-regular is offended by how something looks, then I question
the perception of the non-regular.

So stop griping at me, you and whomever. I'm not doing the thing
you/they hate, so go and complain to someone else. Maybe a non-regular
should, oh, LURK for a bit to see who gives what kind of advice when,
hmmm? Actually, that's good advice for anyone who surfs usenet. Each
group has it's own personality, and personalities. And that goes for
a.m-b. as well.

E.P.
