Although some of the guys here who have been RV'ing for a long period of time get irritated with us noobies, we appreciate the ones that stop and take the time to answer our inane questions anyway. It gives us rookies a piece of mind to hear that someone who has been doing this for twenty years thinks that our setup will work. Instead of ranting about it on someone's thread wouldn't it just be easier to not answer and move on to another thread that interests and/or challenges you personally? There is no rule that you have to answer a member's question once you have read it, just move on and shake your fist at your computer screen next time. I will attempt to not ask any questions that have already been asked and we can all get along in one big happy Keystone family!  |
Johnny,
Steve (and myself to a certain extent) have answered questions multiple times in the same (and different) forums. I've seen Steve take the time to look up a website with a picture of what was in question to more fully make his answer understandable. He has the patience of a "saint" at times.... If you reread what he just said here in response to the discussion, you'll see that he starts his reply with: "This thread is about the only place that I am willing to say this:" then he goes on to explain his point. He does take time to answer questions in threads, sometimes the same quesiton in 2 or 3 threads in the same week. If I can defend him for a moment, it's not that he doesn't want to answer the question, rather it's that he's already answered it yesterday, the day before and last week...... Sure it gets frustrating at times, but if you'll look at Steve's demonstrated record of responses,,, He keeps answering "over and over again" even though as he said, he vented in "this thread only"
Look for his next response to a "noobie's" question, I'll betcha it will have the same level of patience and thoughtful response as the last time he answered that same question.....
Just sayin' .....
