If you ask for help then when you get it fixed you should tell us all what the fix was.

To the extent this is a Tech Issue and not a personal issue, don't be so passive aggressive. Get after it! Be specific. lol

yeah, plus come back and answer questions and thank people. Imagine calling someone and asking for help and when they answer just hang up.

Devil's advocate here...

This group and Tow Vehicles are both pretty brutal.

So imagine yourself on that hypothetical call asking for help and the response is, "Did you try holding a magnet to the switch behind the fridge, moron? I can't believe people like you keep calling. And did you try searching the call logs first? Stupid people like you keep forgetting to use Google and just call me anyway like I don't have anything better to do."

I'd go hold the magnet to the switch and then delete this person's number from my phone instead of calling to say thanks.

I've never understood how or why this particular group is so impatient. There's some decent knowledge here, but I don't blame some members for not coming back for follow-up discussion after the way some folks treat them. Some of y'all are halfway intelligent, but are you really good enough to dole out so much disrespect?

And does everyone's stuff work so well here that you never have to make those desperate calls for help? Have we all forgotten the feeling of being broke down somewhere or having something go wrong that might jeopardize a trip? It really sucks. Maybe if there were a little more compassion those folks wouldn't leave so pissed. Instead, they get an answer and an earful and they stomp off mad whether their problem is solved or not. And half the time the poor OP isn't even sure if the response was a real solution or just some smartass jerking their chain for a laugh. (Should I really hold a magnet up to the sail switch on my fridge, or am I being punked?)

A little patience and empathy might bring some of these folks back for a longer discussion.
