Absolutely...as long as a person understands that "our policy here is to treat others like you want to be treated" (which is a direct quote from Ben), then literally anyone can log in and contribute, even if they presently own a Luv or not.

I too have went to various other sites about a lot of different tech topics, only to see some know-it-all jackass giving out bad info and making some pretty irresponsible recommendations.

And some sites even try to charge a fee, the members all sit around bashing each other, or each new member gets pretty roughed up every time they post.

A site that is more friendly, more supportive, more informative, and more open than this one would be damn hard to find.

If there is an award for webmaster of the year - then they owe Ben 5 of them for the last 5 years that this place has been open.

GOOD MOURNING AMERICA First off LUVRV8 i like the fact that you admit to being "a dumb ass mechanic" like the rest of us cause if it wasn't for dumb ass mechanics we would still be in the Flintstone age.Also glade to here of another Army mechanic.I was a wheel/track mechanic in the Army stationed in Korea 67-68 in the CG's motor pool. Now as for noob bashing and a few do need it but not as many that do get it,i have asked for help like a noob before and got my reply quickly and with courtesy as ALL should receive and sometimes i do it cause i don't have the patience to look through all the threads. The best thing about this site is all the help a person gets is usually quick and accurate unlike some other sites so here is to Ben for a good and well adjusted site.And please somebody tell me how i can do paragraphs as am not a computer geek.As if you couldn't tell And bless the spell-check

tj...Good question!

IMHO, the only dumb questions are the ones that never get asked ...and there are a lot of people that have great computer skills that can't type worth a damn - me included...lol

More people should take the time to figure this out and learn how to use the spellchecker, and then it would make it easier to help understand their posts better when they are asking for help or advice here.

The spellchecker doesn't just correct misspelled words, it will also help eliminate too many spaces between words, and will help a little with punctuation. You can also type your posts out in Microsoft Word and copy and paste them to here, that way you can also use Word's spellchecker and punctuation tools to help create better posts.

Either way you decide to improve your posts, it is great that you are trying to learn new stuff to help yourself make better posts.

So tj.. when you come to the end of a sentence and you want to start a new paragraph, just hit your "enter" button on your keyboard twice and your cursor will skip a line, drop down 1 more line, and then you can type the next paragraph.

That way it spaces out your post a bit and makes it a little easier to read and understand.

And BTW..I was a wheel and track vehicle mechanic in the Army both in Viet Nam and stateside too, then went to school and got my automotive technology degree and started my own auto repair business, but left the industry in the late '90's due to a divorce, city re-zoning, and an injury.

Whether everyone here got their skills in the military, in a trade school or college, or learned them by experience doesn't really matter much - what matters is that we all have a place like this where we can all share our skills and knowledge with each other.

It's kinda like having a huge staff of technical support people working for you personally, with tons of knowledge and years of experience always available 24/7....which is a pretty darn handy thing to have!

I know it has saved my butt many times, that's for sure.
