...if it makes you feel better, more than half were technical posts.
You mean like, "If the battery is not getting charged up are you sure plugged the charger in??"
2014 Copper RTS
Tri-Axis bars, CB, BajaRon sway bar & shock adjusters, SpyderPop's Bumpskid, NBV peg brackets, LED headlights and modulator, Wolo trumpet air horns, trailer hitch, custom trailer harness, high mount turn signals, Custom Dynamics brake light, LED turn signal lights on mirrors, LED strip light for a dash light, garage door opener, LED lights in frunk, trunk, and saddlebags, RAM mounts and cradles for tablet (for GPS) and phone (for music), and Smooth Spyder belt tensioner.
A golden opportunity to irritate the whole choir at once!
This should have been called the butt hurt choir thread. As that is pretty much what it is. I don't think anyone cares much about post counts, they care about the incessant posts that don't contribute. There are a few on every forum that show up and clutter threads with anecdotes and "I don't know but......". It's the pointless, speculative, non-contributing replies that I would say the majority find pointless, but stop shy of saying anything about.
I just activated the ignore list, in one shot I hid thousands of posts about nothing. This is the last I will say of that. Post to you hearts content!
(PS - I don't think the OP is actually an offender, but there are a few!)

I find this forum very entertaining and informative when I need something. Keep the funny posts coming they help me get through "times". Thanks to all. It is nice to know I have the Spyderlover army behind me and mine.
Like it or not; this is a community.
Historically; communities will spring up for a variety of reasons:
The search for religious freedom
The quest for precious minerals
The availability of land.
Ours has sprung up from a commonality of interest: The Can Am Spyder!
However, communities will rarely stay focused upon a single activity, theology, or interest for an indefinite period of time. Diversity within a community is actually a good thing, because it allows all of us to gain other perspectives, and broaden ourselves.
Some will argue that this should be a place where technical information is passed freely among one and all... to the exclusion of all else... (George Orwell has just entered the room! )
Some would prefer a community more based upon the "Mel Brooksian" design: Cowboys sitting around a campfire, eating beans and tuning up their... for a concert of flatulence!
(Okay... that might be just me!)
My point is that there's room for everybody's version of what this place should be...
However; if there's a party going on "next door": are you going to be the neighbor that calls the cops?
Or the one that jumps the fence, and joins in?
The choice is yours!
