This forum often times doesn’t turn up the best search results (searching the forum with Google actually works better), so I understand when occasionally a simple question that could be solved independently pops up, but when it’s perpetual I know that’s very annoying and also a waste of time. Sad to see the guy go. Grateful for those who remain.
X-10 My opinion exactly.
I would not be too hard on members asking questions as I have tried to search this site at times and it ends up so convoluted I just start a thread to get answers.
I feel the search issue on here could be GREATLY improved if they (whoever they are) would spend the time and think about it..
It would be a wonderful improvement if it worked. better.
My .02 worth....

9/10 my answers are full of questions.
8.9/10 I don't get my answers
8.8/10 they tell me they already tried something or some new part is, well, new and assume it's good.
I've seen some of his posts on FB. I had taken a break from the forums for a while but switched back hoping it would be a different group.
It was, but at some point it is the same old stuff.
Thanks for the update on ND.

Yeah, Facebook is garbage and I’m pretty sure it causes some type of mental disorder which is why I want no part of any type of social media.

He posted up here a little bit ago, I sent him a PM to ask how he was doing.

Quote "Rich, I'm responding to your P/M (turned mine off) .. I'm burned out, tired of answering the same questions over and over again.
Spend most of my time on Facebook, because there are plenty of cars (Ford and otherwise) that I can answer questions about."
His last post was 10-14-2022 and then the recent one in response to me sending him a PM was on 4-4-2023.
I think he has tapped out on FTE.

I'm not brash on F/B, don't want to insult all the sweet young things I'm friends with. There's this one, she's 37, but lives in MD
I belong to a Bumpside group on F/B, most of the members haven't a clue.
I was a member of a Dentside group, but not any more, some people were so dumb it was impossible to get through to them. I gave up, dropped the group.
btw: On other Ford truck sites, I'm BKW

Welcome back, ND!
Randomly visiting FT and saw that you'd posted today...pretty random.
Reside in Moorpark and would happily drive my 78 F-350 2WD over to buy you a beer and hear some of your best stories.
Listening for some more ND-patented FT wisdom.

Beer... heck ya take the ol Navy vet out for a cold one and here some of those "their I was.... knee deep in parts request, not a NOS part to be found. The microfiche bulb was blown, so I had to resort to a paper parts book. Word from the front line was delay's on deliveries. Commies and chevy guys charging the counter. All I had to defend myself with was a stapler". 
Has to make for some great stories.
Welcome back already.
LOL I tried FB for like 15 minuets and gave up on them Ford truck folks.

@NumberDummy Curious if you were a box kickin SK in the Navy? Kinda makes sense being a parts manager. Now, the SK rate is LS (Logistic Specialist). In case you didn't know, but I'm sure you did.

I've never been to Acton, but get off the 14 freeway at Red Rover Mine Road, then head west on Sierra Hwy to Shannon Valley Rd, then head north to Daphneyland (Basset Hound Rescue)
