Gang,
There have been some posts recently where people are responding with"google it" instead of offering valuable information. Most people know they can google something to get info. In fact, many members are here because they googled something about C3s and it brought them to us.
However, when they ask questions here they are looking for the experience of members and not some generic info they may find by googling it. If you don't have any information to add to a thread, you probably shouldn't be replying. If you want to help the member and do some research by googling it for them and then reply with your findings, that would be helpful.
Remember, we're here to help each other.
Thanks!

That was "stated" perfectly! That's what makes this site the one I am thankful to be part of!!
I hope the New Members realize the "Search" button option on here has a HUMONGUS amount of info. Any thread ever posted here with any problem will pop up..... it's our very own Google it button.

Thank you Adam, for the reminder. I had a less than helpful response to my very first post here in 2009 and nearly did not renew because of it.
I have to agree with Adam and everyone else that has responded. The reason I keep coming back (and paying to do so) is the fact that we don't see those types of responses here very often. But they, and much worse, are very prevalent on the free forums. I am constantly amazed at the extremely poor examples of human behavior I see on so many different free forums. I have to use them though - I haven't found a forum like this for my '91 Suburban I bought this summer!
Hey Adam, any interest in starting a forum with the C3VR model for GM full size trucks, 1973-1991 (AKA "Squarebodies")????

Never did find much of any assistance on that "GOOFEE" site. I'm here to get real help from people who KNOW how to fix something, not just put a ban-aid on it. THANKS to all who contribute information.
How about "Bing it"?
