Are Magazines dead?
you are learning either way. one way is just a lot faster then the other...
Not necessarily. Most all the newbies in the hobby these days just want the fish. They don't want to learn to fish. Just give them the answer, not how you got there. There's nothing like sho nuff, necessitated learning on the job. No replacement. No substitute. Nothing comes close.
That's why I've backed off right there in a nutshell. I've worked on cars for a living since 1974. That's a long time. When someone tells me something I've done in all that time is archaic or obsolete, I take offense. It's bullcrap to come on here, try to help people with real experience and they don't listen or go slap the other way, but I guess that's their choice.
It's not about bein right either. Has nothing to do with it. People can be polite about doing something differently, but usually they're not. No respect at all. It's like, "just shut up and tell me what's wrong"
It's sorta like the guys with tons of money that buy 50K and up cars to get in the hobby, yet they don't know which end of a wrench is which. IMO, that's not supporting anything except the seller of the car. Nobody is learning anything. They let someone else "take care" of everything. That type person to me is a complete fake and poser. I got no use for them. Either you're in the hobby 100%, or you're part of the problem that's slowly chipping away at it.
Sorry for getting off on a tangent, but a recent experience has me thinking about this.
