''Rude'' 911 posters

[daveshoe]

When I first joined TDR two years ago, much of my education came from just surfing the Truck 911 archive. Problem posted,troubleshoot begins,problem solved,and thank-yous all around. When you were so new to the forums, it helped you out when you were too stoopid to know what to search for.

There is a huge difference between then and now. It seems to me that when the problem is solved, many people who ask for help do not even bother to say the problem was solved. That is rude to the people who helped you out,and does not add to the education that could occur if you had simply taken the time to tell the rest of us how the problem was solved.

If this trend continues, I can see where it could cause ''burnout'' of the helpful guys on this site. After all ,how many times are you gonna help someone out if he doesen't even bother to tell you ''Thanks, what you suggested is what was wrong with my truck. ''

Mabey the 911 archives that are of the ''great unsolved mysteries'' variety should just be deleted or put in a separate 911 unsolved file somewhere One might even consider deleting search capability for them since there is little to learn from them anyway.

Excellent point.

I agree too. There's much to be learned that's left on the table and never spoken of.
