Here we go again!!!!

I have only just noticed this post and am amazed that yet again some well respected members of UKAT are being shot down by others who have no idea of what sound advice they are being given and choose to take it as "Elitist" instead of taking heed and realising they are only trying to help.

UKAT has been established now for almost a decade and for a long time was the only source of information for like minded techs to exchange information and learn from each other. When it was founded it took a long time to get going but with the help of up to 100 regular posters who are now liftime members was regarded as the very best place to learn and develop our technical knowhow and to help to fix those awkward problems.

These Techs deserve respect for that very few of them post now or even bother to read due to too many posts being about a "quick fix" or "silver bullet"

Shaun I think you should lighten up as from my point of veiw Seans advice was sound. I have said it before, On internet forums it is all too easy to totally misinterpret someones intentions or moods then all too quickly a well meaning piece of advice turns into a slanging match.

Pete your comment about being warned about UKAT has probably come from someone else who took umbridge at another well meaning piece of advice.

As dave says there are some exceptional techs on here who deserve respect, there are many techs on here who just because they have paid there annual fee think that they are entitled to the free advice that is offered. but it is given freely by some of the older hands only to people who they think have made an effort to actually test and understand the sytems they are working on.

I appologise if I offend or upset anyone with this post but it needed saying
