There is a Search function! - 07.29.2008, 11:18 AM

Just wanted to point this out! I see many questions that are being asked and can be answered with a little searching. I do not want to offend anyone or anger people but it is getting annoying seeing the same questions over and over.

Doesnt bother me none. Just helps prove my point even more. If i had to be the Guinea pig to get the point across so be it. We all do it from time to time. Didn't want to specify but i was mainly talking about gearing and battery questions that can all be found on BrianG's calculator.

If you search the term "search" you will find quite a few threads about using the search feature...

yeah i searched for this - Hyperion 2s Balancing Tap that did not bring up much. Like i said i do not mind people ragging on me. We all have asked questions that could have been found by searching.
Besides i can tell that it was all in good fun.

On a serious note, sometimes it's not using the search function that's tough, it's HOW to use it - specifically what phrases to use. Then, there is the issue of spelling; if you spell the search term wrong, or the results contain misspelled terms, the search becomes more difficult.

HAHA! Not sure it that was deliberate or not :)

Yeah i admit i could use some lessons on how to phrase my searches. Most of the time i find what need though. Like searching for the taps i needed. Never thought to search hyperion male. I knew i needed a balance lead or tap or whatever else you want to call it so i typed that in not knowing distributors call them differently.

I have always used cheapbatterypacks.com to get balance taps. They ship quickly, and I have never had an issue, plus they sell shrink too!

Yeah, all in good fun!!!
