Title: Open thread, what the heck fixed it?
Post by: terry1013 on March 26, 2005, 04:09:19 PM
Hi all, have been reading as much of this forum as possible to find answers to my GS problems. I seem to be up and running ok thanks to this info but found many, many times when I found a thread related to my problem that a question is asked "how do I fix this?" There is great info a lot of times as to suggestions/debate as to what it might be, then the poster never replies back if its fixed, did it help, nothing.
I will always post the results of what I did, what I found, and if its fixed so that others might see how my troubleshooting ended up.
Just a rant, sorry, but inquiring minds want to know, ha ha.
Hats off to GSTwins and it members.

well that means that they are off riding instead of posting.

Your observation is generally correct. I can remember several times that a problem resolution was revealed to the group by the petitioner. Those members are usually the ones that frequent the board and contribute rather than cry for help.

Your attitude is one of community rather than commodity.  :thumb:

Would  Esprit de Corps" be taking it too far?  :dunno:

I'm reminded of the old saying' "If you throw a rock in a crowd of dogs, you'll hear from the ones that get hit".......  ha ha
Yeah I realize they're prolly out riding instead of posting, just making a general observation after a lot of searches. I'd have to say with out counting them that 70% of em never reply back with the repair. Ya know, it just would piss me off sometimes. I even Pm'd 1 member because his description of a problem was very similar to mine. He answered back and I'm very thankful for the info. Picked it out of a post from  1 1/2 year ago.  
Its all good, bikes a runnin, still will probably check this board daily for a long time.
