Never, buddy! But, I have to let you, and everyone else in on a little story:

Shortly after I bought my truck (used) about a year and a half ago, I discovered the f150 forums and quickly learned what a great resource they were, especially for someone who had never seen an engine with no distributor, no plug wires, no throttle cable, etc., how the heck did it even run?

But, I began to learn and then one day I became frustrated trying to "search" for something due to the HUGE number of "hits" I got that weren't even related to what I was looking for. And, the "search directions" in this particular forum were no help at all. (I finally learned if you want to match the entire search string, you had to put it in quotes like this: "throttle body spacer" to avoid matching "throttle" or "body" or "throttle body", etc.). Well, since I was frustrated, I simply asked everyone on the forum my question, which seemed reasonable, since a forum is for sharing information. My first response was from a guy who simply told me, "I had to learn how to use the "search" function", and since I didn't know, he guessed "He'd have to spoon-feed me". That was all he said, nothing more.

Well, I DID finally find what I was looking for, no thanks to him (or anyone else, for that matter) and came back to share it, thinking it might be of interest to some other people (but I told the "spoon-feeder" he could just ignore my post since he already knew everything). The "spoon-feeder" never let up after that, and I learned to simply ignore anything he posted - it was never of any use to anyone anyway. But, I vowed to myself that if ANYONE ever had a question, I'd try to help him/her find the answer. And, I'd NEVER put anyone down for asking any question either - no question is "stupid". (Even though I think some of mine are)! :o

So, that's why I do what I do. That, and the fact that I'm retired from 20 years teaching in the University and I enjoyed it.

I really hijacked this thread, didn't I? Hope you are enjoying your "new" truck now (it felt like a new one to me when I got my programmer).

And, I hope Corey gets you your mounting boot quickly!
