Popular Mechanics
I picked up a copy of Popular Mechanics on the newsstand today, and in
scanning it, I read through the automotive questions letters. On at least three of the questions, I swear that I have seen the identical posts here on rec.autos.tech. The PM resident guru gave his answers to these question that, I believe, we had all seen and/or responded to before. Something about this looks funny...Has anyone else picked up this copy and noted the strange similarity of questions?????? |

Obviously, this newsgroup and the auto-questions column will receive very similar questions. Heck, the answers might even be close (for obvious reasons). However, if the questions and answers are almost vertabim, I'd suspect a culling of the newsgroup. -- remove MYSHOES to email |

Just wanted to know if anyone else noticed the similarities. |

Get a life loser, you seriously need to find something better to do
with your time. How about you post something useful for a change instead of following me around. http://www.carforums.net/ Auto Forums |

AND, I don't recommend useless things such as the S-10 rear axle "fix" or the Sable power steering "fix". You're the loser with the loser web site that has to be SPAMMED at every opportunity... Merry Christmas!!!! |

Your "fixes" have proven to be either wrong or totally unrelated.... ......and it is s-o-o-o transparent that you only post to get your website's addy up there...... SPAMMERS are SCAMMERS...................... |
