In reality there is no way other than your say so to verify your accomplishments that is why most likely they are so easy for those who choose to pick them apart. Accomplishments posted on the internet mean so little where good advise will certainly stand the test of time regardless of its detractors. This being said there are so many ways to skin the cat so to speak the other fellows ideas and experiences even in contradiction with yours may be just as valid. What it boils down to there may have been suggested 10 different ways to accomplish what you wish to do. All may work with varying degrees of success or ease of accomplishment. From these I am certain one will work for you. It’s not the end of the world to be called wrong or if someone decides not to follow your advice. I think credibility goes out the door when the argument degenerates into who’s right or who’s wrong.

Take for instance glo plugs. Personally I use only three types. If asked I will tell you and explain why. If I do this there will be plenty of others who will disagree with me and they will list their favorites. It doesn’t make me wrong. My advice is no less valid. It is simply what I have found works for me and I am passing it on for anyone who might wish to try them. Is it worth the time or effort to get into a discussion on my choices or what I may think qualifications that justify why I would offer that advice? No it would add no value to the discussion it’s simply a statement of what I prefer and what works for me. Am I open to the merit of others ideas or experiences. Of course in the case of glo plugs I have gone out of my way to acquire plugs I have not tried that were recommended by others and made my own determination to use them or not. If they didn’t work for me I did not have any desire to return to the thread and discuss it. I just choose not to use them. Others may have great success and be quite please using them who am I to say they are in error.
