Ask a question. Get an answer.

Be polite and say thank you. Or ask for more detailed info if you need it!

Thomas, you will be lucky if you get 1 in 20 responding back with thanks, that's the way it goes her mate! By the way I like your work on the VW's I have been in this industry some 37 years and I have picked up some great VW tips from you since you have been here, great work mate!

Subconsciously, that is probably why I don't want to be "an Expert". I bet that at the opposite end of the scale, the people who
pay for an answer, are never satisfied with what is given to them.

I went through this with Justanswers. You spend DAYS helping someone, back and forth, explaining the same thing over and
over. For a cut of $7.

Do I really neeeeeed these special tools? Are you sure I have to remove this and that?
