Poor advice becoming more common on AS...

Matt you are 100% correct and you did a very good job bringing it up. (I'd have been a little more obnoxious I'm afraid)

I've noticed this myself a lot. I've stopped myself from correcting some of the obvious bad info cause I don't want to come across a some kind of grammar school hall monitor, but there's plenty of bad info. I just wish guys would think a little before they post. Ask yourself a question: Do I know this is accurate, or do I think it's accurate. If your not sure, don't post it. The rule ought to apply to passing things along that someone else posted when you haven't a clue as to whether he knows what he's talking about.

ROFLMFAO!!!

I think I pee'd myself a little. Whether or not you kill the killer wasps, that mod is just about the kewlest muff mod I have ever seen. I think I'll try it on my 394. I bet it sounds great too!!

Bob! I'm so sorry! I forgot to put your name down on the list of guys that helped me when I first got on here. Hey I picked up a couple more fixer uppers, I'll be in touch soon with a list of parts I need.

I agree Bob......I have (sadly) made some posts that were not totally accurate.. early on......only took a few counter actions by those that knew to set me straight. Now when I answer, unless it is a subject I am quite well versed on.....I do a do a double check on my info before opening my yap....through IPLs or other methods so I don't contradict myself or others.....there is nothing wrong with being wrong.......but not quickly admitting you're wrong and moving on is a violation.....that's what set people apart....

Hey Matt, how is the bottom end of the china saws holding up?

I'm had no problem buying just the seal.

Thanks Randy, parts tree has that seal, but for some reason on the parts diagram it is not listed

 

[HuskStihl]

If I had a bidness like y'all's, I'd be on the Facebook. For now, if I am not in contact with you, it is not because I can't find you, it's because I prolly don't like you enough to make the effort

The comments on this particular are usually SKIPPED over by our younger readers-not to their interest. Some of us will now have to carefully judge the comments on AS especially since many of my favorite members have moved on. I'm glad Snelling and a few others haven't given up. I hope our older members will hang in there. We need 'em.

+1 for the minimal digital footprint. And quite frankly, I can't stand all the young douchebags at work staring into their phones all FKN day, texting on Facebook. So out of spite, I won't join.

Plus you're a midget.

Plus "I have a potty mouth"

If I post bad advice it's done jokingly and so absurd you can tell it's a joke AND it wouldn't hurt or harm anything or anyone. IE What bar oil to use? Baby oil.

That would probably actually work fine as it is basically mineral oil. Just sayin.

 

[MechanicMatt]

How tacky do you think baby oil is? Wouldn't it not "stick right" how about how thick it is?? Would it not pump out too fast and the oil tank run out before the fuel?? Leaving the chain and bar susceptible to wear?? hehehehehehehehe

 

[Stihl 041S]

But what is baby oil made from?????

Oh the humanity !!!!!

 

[abikerboy]

But what is baby oil made from?????

Real babies, if you buy the good stuff.

 

[Mastermind]

Real babies, if you buy the good stuff.

LMAO.....

 

[XSKIER]

I noticed a big uptick in weird, quasi-intelligible posts starting about August, 2012.

Hey! I resemble that remark.

 

[Whiskers]
