Step back from the attitude a minute and try this scenario. Lets say you are driving through a state & town where you have never been before. You stop for a cup of coffee & there are a bunch of folks talking about N Ford tractors. Now, because you can see & hear them, you can observe their dress, mannerisms & even understand those with some heavy accents. Some are well dressed, some in jeans & t-shirts, some in work uniforms. Old, young & in-between. Some white, some black. Nearly all males. Some w/ a smart mouth, others a bit more articulate than others & some who clearly are mechanics & most who clearly are not. The only two things they have in common is that they like old Ford tractors & are willing to share their knowledge. You are having a problem with your tractor & ask a question. Which, from reading your posts & all the good responses you got was "My tractor doesn't run well & I think it's the carb" Now, remember, you do not know these folks from Adam's house cat. When you get what you think is a snippy response, or when 2 or 3 of them tell you what they think your problem might be, and a lot more responses asking you for more info..... and you continue to disbelieve them & keep going after a carb problem..... then you have to make a decision. Are you going to say "Sorry guys, I wasn't listening to you. I did not give you enough info to help me find the problem & I disregarded the advice from 5 or 6 of you who said it was not my carb". Or, is your decision going to be to punch out of the forum? And, as you leave, you want us to know why. Fine, thank you for your observations. I respectfully disagree with you. You got a lot of help & a lot of good advice & you ignored it. That is just fine w/ me & I suspect w/ a lot of other folks as well. But, I'll tell you this much: if you ask for my advice, and then want to argue with me or ignore it, just do me the courtesy of telling me that my advice was incorrect. Tell me the answer. I can accept that & learn from it. And, if you post it here, others may learn as well. But, if I tell you something 2 or 3 times & you do not accept it, and you do not tell me what the answer is, I don't really see a need for you to take up anymore of my time.
