i dont think he tries to make people feel like an ass I do see how you can think that of him however I think I see where he may be coming from. Personally myself Ive been trying to help people with imports since late 96 or early 97. Knowing the answers are a quick search away and at the same being tired of answering the same questions literally hundreds of times gets kind of aggrivating so sometimes my answer (and possibly bill (Im hesitant to talk for other people without fully knowing how they feel)) and his will be kind of short and too the point and may come out like were being an ass. And maybe sometimes him and I feel that people should already know this stuff. And its like that with anybody who knows a lot about certain subjects. If you surround yourself with one topic and become very knowledgeable on that subject you lose touch with reality in a sense of how much everybody knows and before you know it youre speaking to everybody in terms that only very knowledgeable people in that subject know so youre speaking over everybodies heads and when somebody asks a question you give them a short answer and their like WTF? Also it just depends on the mood somebody is in. I know Bill somewhat and would doubt hed try to make somebody feel like an ass just short and sweet and to the point answers sometimes were all guilty of it.
