This is my point.

I went yesterday to find my Funtana thread, which I haven't posted on in a while, and the first search after 5-6 seconds of searching turned it up. That is with BASIC DSL. I'm sure dial up would have taken 15-20 seconds. Whoop Dee Doo.

I just went through the last 3 pages of this forum and the number of times each major trimmer brand was named in the thread title follows. Anyone wanting to look up info on these engines has a lot of reading to do just in the last three pages updated threads, let alone a complete search. I maintain that people (most) don't want to spend the time to read about something and search for it, but would rather have someone spoon feed them.

Times mentioned in thread title in last three pages:

Homelite = 16
Ryobi = 15
Poulan = 3
Mac. = 2

I think this shows the mentality of many Americans as a whole; they don't want to put much effort forth to get what they want immediately.

The first thing I do when going to a new site or finding info on a new aspect of this site is multiple searches. I usually have to spend at least an hour wading through threads but with a lot of reading many of my "dumb" questions are answered.

Call me bitter or whatever, but that's what I see.
