Good evening Ian. I have recently experienced the very same attitude on a a classic car forum; but in this case the "attitude" was not in any way rude or disrespectful but more academic. I am rebuilding an MG TC and was given some incorrect advise regarding the timing of a non standard camshaft resulting in a lot of wasted time and effort. I sought advise on a poplar MG forum and received a couple of technical replies from "experts" couched in unfathomable jargon. It was all way over my head. It was as if I had somehow given them the opportunity of showing everyone else on the forum just how clever they are. My question was simple and to the point but the response was over complicated and designed, I think, to make me look stupid.
Eventually, someone took pity on me and posted the information I wanted. Simple and to the point.
Not everyone thinks it's all about them.
