You're right!

I like reading (& often learn from) just the biographies.... hang in there guys. Do it b/c you love it, not as a chore. I roll my eyes when I need to, and respond when I feel I can add value - not much thanks to your collective wisdom. Thanks for the knowledge transfer (KT!)

There will always be a turnover of people. There will always be a repetition of questions. That is OK. There will always be, in this instant world, those who do not read every word that the OP has posted then respond with what they think the OP said. Not OK. As a do it yourselfer a pet peeve is the responder whose answer is invariably "take it to the dealer". Not helpful at all.

There is a wealth of knowledge here. Since 2007 I have had my share of those who got me through a problem or a source for an item. Really appreciate those people.

I'm tired of the snarkiness myself but remain here because I have many whom I consider "friends" and can still offer advice. Yes, the questions that get asked over and over again are because new people continually join. Those are the ones we should stay around for. IMHO more people would stay if the snarkettes of the world would just learn some respect.

Been a member for about 13 years. After about 5 years, got tired of the same questions time after time. Used to be about 5-6 pages of new posts every day, and now it's about 2 pages. Maybe others have gotten tired of old questions. But.......every once in a while, there is a semi-interesting discussion that I end up following, and occasionally commenting on. It's similar to driving past an accident in some ways. Or I'm just bored.
