In the July Airmail, page 24, T Hille writes “Preserving the Legendary… “.  Now, that sounds right.  “Recycling” seems kinda cheesy.

It should be required, as it is on another site. 

Really?  was this necessary to add to your reply Richard?   How about giving the advice and keeping your insults to yourself.   I mean the guy wrote he is not good with electronics.  

He is following your advice the best he can and to the best of his ability.  Then you drop this stupid comment, way to make the guy feel good.  Oh and adding the "I don't want to discourage you nonsense line really rubs it in.

By the way, I wouldn't have replied or made an issue of this except you are a moderator!  Am I wrong to assume the moderator's job in this forum is to prevent insulting or demeaning posts from making the web?  Another jerk on the forum would be a problem and I would expect YOU as the moderator to inform said person they crossed the line.   I DO NOT expect such behavior from the guy running a professional forum.  St.

In the Tech Articles "Literature" section, the section providing Oak's email address and telephone number really should get edited out...for obvious reasons. It was accurate when Snowbum listed it but it is not helpful now.

If the forum software does not allow Stickies, then we need a new sub-forum in which to place these same posts. This would not be a place for the typical question-and-answer format, but a read-only forum where important Airhead information could be placed. This would be the repository for answers to the Top 10 Issues. 

I feel this is important because 1. the same questions keep being asked over and over, 2. the Search function on this web site is cumbersome so finding answers is not easy, and 3. it would better serve our changing membership. What I mean by this last bit is that increasingly new members did not grow up riding Airheads in the 1970's and so "common" knowledge such as the "$2000 O-ring" isn't common anymore. We can't count on new members reading 39 pages of Snowbum on their own volition before they trip over and finally discover these bits of "must have" Airhead trivia. What I'm saying is that "common knowledge" is increasingly uncommon as a new generation of riders discover Airheads. 

If the Club's mission is to keep Airheads on the road, then this knowledge needs to be readily available, sorted and cataloged for new members on Day 1 of their membership. There are now 4 or 5 good Airhead forums on the internet for Q&A, so having Q&A is not enough. Snowbum is getting older and at some point his web site will be turned OFF. The time to become the go-to place for Airhead knowledge is now, while there are still some gray heads that remember.

Thanks.
