Re: [DML] new tech site



Hi Robert,
Lots of answers to this one, hard to know where to start. For one thing,
many of the same questions keep coming up with the same answers being given,
over and over, no end in sight If the situation as it now exists were
adequate, obviously this wouldn't be so, would it. Searching the archives
can be very time consuming and the results much less than you would hope. I
heartily support Wayne in all that he is attempting. Your same response or
question could be applied to the proposed parts manual and service
manual...do we really need any more information...of course we do! There's
no such thing as too much wisdom. If we stop here and don't attempt any more
progress that's rather limiting isn't it. No new ideas, no changes, keep all
as it is? I can't agree with that. This is not another list. The concept,
simply, is to have all of the information in one place, good answers, easy to
find. We don't have it, we need it, let's do it! The archives are getting
unwieldy and growing at a rapid pace, what would make sense would be to
extract the gems of wisdom, consolidate, edit, offer, (gee, we're looking at
the new Tech site) and scratch the rest. Project the rapid growth of the
archives and pretty soon you can see half a day spent wading through topics
to find one answer. I doubt that anyone will ever try to tidy up the
archives and it will get worse. There is a lot of e-mailing and 'phoning to
vendors to get answers that should be available in other forms. There are
always exceptions but the calls are generally made because the information is
just not that easy to find, the 'phone calls are the quickest way. The
vendors take up a lot of their time answering questions and they get high
praise for it but it would be nice to spare them a high percentage of it by
providing the answers to the questions they are being asked. This could go
on and on (and probably will) but hopefully you get the idea.
