Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 843 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 843 | I have a question about what forum members prefer to see in answers to questions about their projects. If a Stovebolt forum member asks a question on a subject I’m interested in too I read the answer and often do a little of my own independent research on the subject in the hope of applying the information to my own projects. Sometimes it turns out to be a simple matter on which all experts agree. In other cases the information and expert opinions are contradictory. In that case I look at the data behind the expert opinions to decide which opinion is supported by the most data and is most credible.
That brings me to my question. Where there is disagreement among experts, would forum members want to know that or not?
If "Yes" I would feel free to share what I've discovered. If "No" I'll know to keep silent.
Thanks for sharing your preference guys and ladies.

Provide links to the differing opinions.
Then, provide your opinion (and why). | | | | | Joined: Aug 2018 Posts: 351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2018 Posts: 351 | | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,189 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,189 | Sharing information and ideas about our trucks is the foundation of this group, we all learn from each other. Not one of us here know's it all, but as a group we do a pretty good job! The only rules are to be respectful of others and their ideas, keep the topic in the correct forum (engine in engine and electric in electric etc.) and if we step out of line be ready for the moderators to reel us in! So, yes...share your thoughts and ideas! Mike B  | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,442 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,442 | Stovebolt.com has rules about flaming. Some disagreements fall quickly down that rabbit hole. That is where the Moderator must step in and shut it down. I am familiar with the reasons yar wishes to explore this subject. I believe we should let the members choose which advice to take. One person researching another’s posts and then posting an opinion can only lead to more conflict. This site could quickly turn into another HAMB where insults are the norm. A resounding no is my answer.
I have sent this thread and it’s associated posts to John for his review. At this point I’m going to lock it down. John can unlock it if he wishes or if his answer to me is to open it up I will unlock it myself.
