Yes, I thought it was only about that one posting, no question of leaving.

The problem with messageboards is that sometimes it isn't easy to judge the tone of messages but most people here try to help others so can we please avoid making personal comments.

Thank you

Actually, they're inverted commas, or quotation marks, not apostrophes. Have a look at the wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark , and note particularly the paragraph 'Signaling unusual usage". I would have spelled signalling with a double 'l', but the rest of it seems good stuff.

Don't be too harsh on people who have tried to help you, especially when they have more knowledge and experience about cars in the dirt under their fingernails than some folk will ever learn in a lifetime. I wouldn't put myself in the same league as many of the regulars here, particularly 'bmcecosse', but I'm learning to be even more selective about who I try to help.

What exactly is inappropriate in my previous post???


I ONLY ASKED A SIMPLE QUESTION COMPARING TWO PRODUCTS.

IF YOU THINK I AM REPETITIVE, THEN WHY BOTHER REPLYING TO MY QUESTIONS???

PLEASE, all of, stop ganging up, and stop replying to this topic. I got the third degree by one member when I joined, who decided to comment on how bad my driving was, on a question relating to damage after going over speed bumps??? Now this.

I have generally found this site helpful, but some people ruin it in their tone and the way they answer. I doubt many of you are like this in real life, its just soooo easy to come across as negative, sooooo easy to gang up on an internet forum, which is exactly what has happend here.

Better still, use engine oil + grease...

Most of my Minors have never been welded, that's thanks to engine oil,NOT Waxoyl!

What exactly is inappropriate in my previous post???

As previously stated, it is sometimes difficult to convey the 'tone' of a message on forums and sometimes they come across differently from how the poster intended. And people will also add comments which don't answer the original posters question and appear unhelpful - It's easy to press the 'send' button without really considering how the message will come across to the recipient. That's the problem with internet chatrooms. However if comments get personal they will get removed as they have in this thread and elsewhere (Kingzdjc - if you wish to discuss further please contact me via pm).

As the initial question has now been answered I'll lock this thread to avoid further arguments being posted
