Anybody else waste their work day on here?

I always thought trolling was when you posted a thread on a board that wasn't on the same subject. Then sat back and wached the replies. Is my interpritation wrong?

[SappySE107]

Lurking is probably the term:P Trolling is when you start shit in numerous threads. Like if I went around replying after someone all the time to correct them. We don't get that too often. The most recent time, the guy brought up puppy beating, which is hilarious. I guess it is entertaining. There are some aspects that aren't so humorous though

[3100 MPFI]

No. Your interpritation is correct, but trolling also refers to just reading and never posting.

Ben has FORGOTTEN more than I will ever know. I just feel that my knowledge is getting to be outdated. The things that I know to be true are not so true anymore. I really feel I need to expand what I know more and more, but I am limited in a way. I learn my best by doing. Reading does not tell me anything. I have to see what I am doing. The only thing I can read that does not apply is wiring diagrams, I LOVE those.

One thing I try to do is look things up in my books before I post. I don't want to ever give any wrong information, but as things change, and new things come out, what I know and what I knew tend to be somewhat altered.

I guess LURKING is more what I mean. I normally don't try to start shit. But I can if I ever feel frisky enough. I have not started any shit since I got banned over on w-body.com (which that was just me getting some stuff off my chest more than anything).

iv been around since probably 03 maybe early 04, then somehow my screen name and password quit working, i spent some time on W-body.com, that sight sucked pretty bad, then i sent some e-mails to get my account back online.

Glad i spend my time here, and my local racing site(toledotuners.com)

I mainly just read alot. Although I also find myself doing searches for people who can't seem to find answers to something. But seeing as I am probably one of the very few who reads EVERY post on here, I know when things have been discussed before. You can tell from my post count that I post alot as well, but in recent months, my posting has decreased significantly. With my current family and work situation, I really don't get a chance to tinker with the car anymore. Hell, besides maintenance items here and there (some long overdue somethings), the last real thing I did to my car was the 3400 swap in Feb 04. So alot of times I hold back from posting unless I am 100% sure on the answer. I will usually just let someone else answer the question. If nothing comes up in a day or 2, then I will try my hand at it.

trolling or lurking whatever I'm old school I'd rather sit in the garage with you with a cup of coffee or a beer and pick your brain, but being stationed out here in Armpit AFB kinda limits me on gathering up knowledge from fellow enthusiests(I can't spell for shit). I work in a repair garage when I'm off duty and all I get is shit for wanting to do anything out rageous with my 91 GP and especially since it is the 3.4DOHC. God forbid I don't build a small block chebby or a ford motor.

I don't mean to rant and rave but damn you guys are the only ones that seem to know what the hell I'm talking about.

Off topic, but I was almost heading down to Abilene for work next week, but plans changed and now my department isn't included in the project. But, look forward to a new Hastings store where that used to be an old Albertsons in the near future (unless it gets cancelled).

[Coyote_Rage]

funny thing is the hastings used to be in the store front right next to that old albertsons.... If your ever down this way give me a heads up, give you a grand tour of Armpit AFB and have a beer/coffee

[3100 MPFI]

They just built a new hastings in the next town. It was originally in the mall, but now it is in it's own building and is a LOT bigger.

I also prefer to do things in person. It is only when I TALK THINGS OUTLOUD that I realize what I am overlooking. Kinda like how HOUSE M.D. does on TV. I SO relate to that man.

[SappySE107]

Brad gets all the cool information, like where a hastings is gonna be soon.

[bszopi]

FU Ben... :P

Hey Taylor, which town? Just wondering if we did that one or not...

[3100 MPFI]

Lake Jackson, Texas.

[bszopi]

Nope, didn't do that one...

[SappySE107]

HAHAHA! which one. This is awesome. I don't even know what this place sells but I wanna know when we are getting one.

[3100 MPFI]

If their hastings are the same as my hastings, they are a music/video/book store. That have just about everything there (from a small cafe, to body piercing jewelry, to both video and board games).
