    robocop locks a thread...

    what's up ? I had some guy lock up a thread and send me an e-mail saying this isn't a diy site. I admit my question could be considered a little bad but common! If he would have looked at my info he would have seen i was a tech. and the situation is not diy, andddddd the locking of the thread would have been unnecessary. Will somebody get this guy out of the heat, he's stone walling me here.

    If, as you claim, you are in the trade, get your post count up to 15 and apply for pro membership. It is free.

    Not knowing what or where a service valve is is VERY suspicious. Sorry.

    Winning friends and influencing people...not your strong suit.
    No reserve. No retreat. No regrets.

    For those who have fought for it, freedom has a sweetness the protected will never know.

    its 15 posts not 15 threads

    and that is the prerequisite to apply for pro membership, it doesnt automatically get you in

    you should know this, or did you get in when they were letting anyone in by request?

    You may want to investigate a little further before you let your typing fingers over run your brain...

    And as previously stated, this site is not a prison, you can leave anytime you want...only the mods can't leave

    The place where tech questions get answered is the pro section, and so, you would need that designation to access that section.

    I think the basic idea is that after 15 posts, it IS possible to guauge what level of expierience one has. Could a highly experienced HO get in? Sure, that could happen. But, at least the due diligence would have been exercised to attempt to make that determination. I kept putting off applying for pro membership. I think I had some 200+ posts.

    Highly unlikely as they have to submit some credentials, too.

    It's just not about 15 posts.
    Merry Christmas
