READ THE FORUM AND STOP ASKING THE SAME OLD QUESTIONS!!!!
Posted: Wed Jan 08, 2014 12:48 am
You know I'm not really an asshole but...
I'm getting so tired of the "what should I do"... threads on SB
It's getting old and when I see the same old questions pop up week after week I just want to snap. Most times I'm patient and will answer civilly, but sometimes I've just had enough of the hand holding.
More and more i see posts that are just stupid questions from somebody who wants someone to hold their hand thru the whole process. Kudos to twizz, he just seems to go with the flow, and maybe i should just ignore them but...
Skibuilders website has gotten most of where we are today and I'm thankful for the resource. Before I even made my first material order I read every post. I spent weeks reading everything, then just did it.
Win or lose I had to try it, and had enough knowledge and smarts to make it work. When it did go south and problems occurred I reread it all again. I couldn't imagine asking for help.
Most of you guys, I think, know what I'm saying. So often these days you see the stupid questions, what should I do to make this or that...
I don't have a problem if someone has a question after they have tried. Brittle epoxy... Ya it's brittle when it's not in the matrix etc...
But when the kid the other day asks for the millionth time how much camber will he lose, I just gotta snap. How the dded will we know! There are so many variables, What I lose and what you lose are not the same and this has been documented over and over. Top heat, bottom heat, no heat, room temp, symmetrical layup?
Once in a while I just have to snap. Hope I didn't piss off anyone here, I could care less if I pissed off the kid. Maybe he'll read the forum and find that there is no answer.
Bottom line...
This is a very valuable resource, but the more asinine posts there are, the harder it is for everyone.
When I started there were a few thousand posts and it took a while, (quite a while) to get thru them all. Now there are more than 4 times the posts and it's harder than ever to get thru them all.
Please use Google to search and then, even if it's an old thread, if it's relevant to your question revive it. Or if you have a question that hasn't been asked start a new thread and ask away.
There is so much information on this site, all the answers are probably there... You are not re-inventing the wheel, search and search again. Google is your friend.
PS...If you are reinventing the wheel I want in on the ground floor!
Respectfully,
sam
