I pretty much stick to the tech forums rather than the Club or conversation forums, so I give rep for worthwhile tech posts (not just copying and pasting diagrams
)

Matt,
Thanks for that clarification.
Since I see you are all 'supporters' is this the Club FTE circle jerk "rep ring" that Ken is talking about?
"I pretty much stick to the tech forums rather than the Club or conversation forums, so I give rep for worthwhile tech posts (not just copying and pasting diagrams )"
?underhand jab?
I can see where this could help out someone who doesn't have the schematic they need. I mean how the hell could you *explain* it to someone?
BTW, I'd like to thank all the posters here with DEEP knowledge of these trucks.
I, for one, appreciate the time you take to share the information that keeps them going.
....but I've got NO posts, so I guess my + rep means next to nothing...........
Jim

I try to give rep points often, now, but didn't use to. It was really just something that didn't interest me..getting or giving. Now, it is a more popular "custom" here. More often than not, I get the "spread it around" message. I need to visit more forums, more often... and post in them. But, there are already so many knowledgeable folks here, that for the biggest share of vehicles now being driven, me smarts is useless. These computer trucks are above and beyond my comprehension...but only because I've never had to dig deeply into one. ( Thank God!! )
Negative rep points given, are usually received immediately in return. I did once..got one back once... no longer will give them. For any reason. If I've given more than one, I'll probably find out about it. But, I feel badly enough for what I did give.
Negative only begets negative back at ya. Think about it...sleep on it... anything requiring some thought... before handing it out.

Tim gives reps, as we all know
So much, in fact, he's called a "Ho"
It's not for flash, it's just for fun
As natural to him as the morning sun
If you get a rep and it's from Tim
It usually isn't on a whim
He'll fill your rep cup to the brim
If you deserve one, it'll be from him.

yes "Fraternize" with each other in a Lounge setting where hopefully the nature of the topic discussions are mature and respectful.
Topics not allowed in this forum.
Usually people who pay to do something... respect that situation.
IMO giving negative points is showing Immaturity and it tells more about
"that person" than the one who got them.
