And how do we know you're not, Jim? ;-)

you don't! but you can ask questions and check facts. usenet introduced me to people that just accept stuff as fact based simply on the presentation style and they seemingly have no ability to research or judge independently of that. utterly bizarre.



It's amazing to me how much groups like this have replaced things like
reading the Owners Manual or getting a good shop manual. Or even
applying common sense! The old saw 'There is no such thing as a stupid
question' really isn't true when 'groups' are concerned...

that's largely true in a time when there's groups.google.com and you can look stuff up that's been asked a billion times before. but if it's not there, asking "dumb" questions is absolutely the right thing to do.

personally though, i just can't be bothered with crap about "my transmission doesn't work - what's wrong" or "why does my washer fluid bottle take 4.7 quarts, not 5.3" - those idiots aren't here for real questions - they're here because nobody they know personally will listen to them.
