My concern is that what appears to be happening is a move to a regulated board where only authorised posters may reply to technical questions.
This potential regulation was why I was quite wary of the creation of archives in the first place. I saw nothing wrong with what we had.
Having said that I feel that the archiving has been done quite well by most and that general congratulations are in order.
What I do fear is that the archives are hard to find, especially for novices to this forum, and appear to be often missed by new posters, if their questions are any indication.
No-one should believe everything they see on the net in general or this forum in particular. I for one cannot envisage a workable system that allows for only correct answers to be posted.
I think that the "stick your head in the exhaust pipe and smell the aroma" type answers have to be tolerated along with the gems from Bill R, Shogun, Whit etc.
I agree with Genphreak that we need to create a data base of useful info but how to filter every post and reply is beyond me.
If Jeff wants to try, then as far as I am concerned let him try, but it is a massive undertaking.
In effect I suppose I am trying to say that the labour intensity of any control or regulation is nigh impossible, in my opinion.
If a fix is required at all, I would prefer to see a system where novices are led through a series of pages instructing them on the use of the forum.

Sorry for the sermon, but my 2c.

Oh ya Zeuk, you're on the money, except I don't think Jeff is thinking of handling the massive reforms you speak of... just limiting the background noise a bit. I am sure he's well qualified... except that pic of the chicken really belongs in a "kill KFC" campaign... actually I suspect he is carrying out some home-grown bird-flu experiement.

There's a thought you know... could an e34 could run on powdered chicken carcasses... mmm...

anyone seen a dry-fuel FPR perhaps? Perhaps coal dust injectors would retrofit... not sure about the fuel pumps...
