eMail addresses? Been on these boards for 3-3 1/2 yrs now and recognize many people - the nmost recent turbo posts I do not. Some state high mileage as well. You'd think they would have been hanging around before...

One for the X files.

And then their symptoms are less than "classic" of such failures

Default if you are referring to me, here are my reasons...

i do not want to get spammed. happened before on other sites, and i get over 200+ emails for business and do not want to sort through spam. second, i do not want my dealer to know who i am. that is why i do not post my locatation. just to let you know i am not a troll, and have never caused any trouble. you should ask others why they do not post their emails.

They're coming from other forums and making it up.

Default Yes, and it's not just the "blown turbo" posts...

...I've been noticing for quite some time that we have no shortage of never-before-seen, never-again-seen posters, often with anonymous email addresses, who pop in, post that they're having a problem, and then we never hear from them again.

As you said, definitely one for the X-files.

Default "Chicken Little"? Dude, live through the nightmare, it was painfully real...

Oh, and I've been hanging about (although not a lot in the last 3 months) for the last 2+ years.

Later...
