Default did some figureing

Had some time to spare
bare with me
1553 pages (to date) X 33 post per page,= 51,249
I goes back farther??
May 2010 till Oct 2017 = 88 months
88 months divided into 51,249=576 each month
576 X12= 6,.910 per year
6910 divided by 365 days = 19 threads a day for over 7 years
and we sill have not fixed every damn Model A ever manufactured.
Are we slipping? did Henry make more that we can fix?

I am off to see my therapist

Not many folks search the Barn database first.
But it is tough to do sometimes when the thread titles are vague.

I believe the search function will also search for key words in the text. A lot of people just don't want to take the time to learn to use it.

I remember some guy who posted a question and responders suggested he read some of the books available and to search the database for previous discussions. His response was "why should I waste my time doing that when you guys will answer my question!"

And the Guy was banned for telling him to read and search, created drama.

This is true.

Most thread titles are so horrendously vague, such as "silendah banging"
or "Sparkle plugz" or sometimes have absolutely nothing at all to do with cars at all, and go on for about 15 pages of waffley random things, and when you do a search by words in the mesages, it comes up on each search because someone mentioned it on 1 of the 15 pages.
Would drive most people nuts.

We haven't fixed every one ? We just keep on fixing them, after-al, it their name sake, fix or repair daily.

It's easier to just look at "The Forums" page - it shows a total of 54,324 threads containing 611,907 posts (and counting) in the Model "A" forum.
