Why so many posts unanswered am missing something 

Hello Andrew,

Good question, which I guess applies to many other forums. 

In simple terms, forums are not a guaranteed sources of free technical advice, and posts are generally answered by ‘volunteers’ who are prepared to give up their time to freely pass on whatever knowledge they have for the benefits of others. Sometimes that experience and knowledge is available here and sometimes it isn’t - Thimple, as the advert says. 

Alternative sources of advice will be on a paid-for basis at main dealers, and I guess this can be compared with paying privately to see a medical specialist at your local hospital. 

Knowledge and experience are king, and generally it’s not taken for granted that they will be willingly shared for free. 

Sorry if this comes over a bit harsh, but that’s how I see it. 

Others will possibly see it differently.

Kind regards,

Gareth. 

Hello Andrew again, 

I’ve just re read your post no. 1 of 2, and if your experience of non responses on this forum is based on your initial post, then you had two replies which might have been helpful to you, together with pages of  lead-up responses to your question, before you raised it. 

I’m not quite sure what more help the forum could have offered in relation to your question. 

Of course, if your second post just relates to responses in general then, perhaps you may be right, and indeed the forum could do with more input in certain categories. 

Any chance you would consider joining in and offering advice? The forum will surely benefit from all contributions. 

Kind regards,

Gareth.
