I think most people try to be helpful. I try really hard to convey the confidence level I have in my answers. I also admit when I misinterpreted something. I will say that my experience is that a lot of people leave out details when they post a question. For example.. There have been several times when it takes to or three responses before the OP says "oh yeah.. I crashed the other day".
I just think that if you're using a forum.. You need to weigh the responses and choose the ones that make the most sense to you
well said Buckaye. I have received some great advice on the forum. Many here are veterans and know through experience and are only trying to help.
Obviously, the greatest challenge is our understanding of the language, explanation, and experience of those posting. Whether asking a question or giving an opinion we should take these things into consideration. We should strive to be positive! There is great satisfaction in providing helpful insights for those who just don't know, or relating a positive experience with our hobby.
I like feeding the occasional Troll ( come on, you know who I'm talking about) and moving on to sharing positive experiences.
Overall , I like the Phantom Pilot's Forum and share your enthusiasm for our sport.
