So, if the goal was to learn how to repair your dishwasher (my upper rack adjustment bracket broke the other day), would you appreciate being misdirected, deliberately misinformed, and distracted by sensationalist nonsense while you were trying to figure out how to get it fixed?

Not me. In fact, it took me just about 5 minutes of Googling to find a video that showed me how to repair it myself. A couple of clicks later, I bought the parts on Amazon (which cost about the same as a good burger) and the next day, after the parts were delivered (Amazon is amazing), I watched the same video again to remind myself how to remove the old parts and install the new ones. I don't pay for Google either and it literally saved me over a hundred dollars in service call fees and over priced parts. My time is worth something though and I would have gladly paid a pro to fix my dishwasher if I had to deal with the same kind of sh*t trying to fix it myself that I had to deal with in the POD.

They oughta just rename it Lionsm13 Meme Stream. I wonder how long it'll take until he starts responding to his own posts.

I do? While I do love Mt Dew, I thought I deleted everything. Will have to check it out.

Cool. Thanks! Problem solved.

Your analogy/comparative further exhibits the insatiable desire to further your premise that yours and only your suggestions, references and sources are the ones that a person should subscribe too ... Obviously if one was curious enough to further investigate a subject they'd be intelligent and resourceful enough to consider more than one venue ... even if it was a "dishwasher"

Exactly not true. In fact, I thought I made it pretty obvious that I defer to authoritative sources of information: instructions on the back of the popcorn bag, and subject matter expert Whirlpool dishwasher repair technician. I have zero interest in wasting my time with anything that is not an authoritative source. In the POD, if you haven't been able to figure out who the trolls are by now, you never will, and I couldn't possibly care less if you do or not. Not my circus. Not my monkeys.

Bullshit. The mere fact you spent as much time in POD as you did, proves the opposite. It is, was not and never will be an authority on anything....ever. It’s Pure entertainment value, and most often not all that entertaining.

Your powers of deductive reasoning are underwhelming.
