This saddens my heart:biggrin: It probably means you're not much of a reader. That's ok, a lot of people aren't. But there's a whole world of books that you're missing out on. I prefer non-fiction myself. I don't like to walk away from reading without learning something. But that's just me. There's so much knowledge in books.vmq6695 said:

I've no problem reading books for pleasure and education. And my home library is not small.
My point was that, in the 21st century, VAG could [should?] provide its customers with more information in a readily searchable format.
And do it far cheaper than the cost of printing the owner's manual on paper.
Think of it: one CD-ROM could contain the Owners Manual, the VWoA Self Study Program, and relevant sections of the VW parts manual. A DVD could contain much more.
As it is, I look up the parts manual (ETKA) on CD-R. And I have much of the Self Study Program on CD-R. I think it would have been neat if that had been provided when I purchased the car.
Perhaps that means there is a niche for, say, someone from this forum, to create and market a CD or DVD with something better than the VW Owner's Manual (just digitising the text and adding hyperlinks to itself, not to mention adding hyperlinks to the Self Study Program documents or even the distilled wisdom of this forum, would be a revolution).

First off yea I am lazy and Immature. Lazy and Immature enough to give my life for my country for the last 13 years with many more to go.(Yea I am gonna play that card). Yea much offense taken, walk a mile in my shoes and then tell me who is lazy.
The whole point of the thread was just to see how aggrivated people get over nothing and how informative people are. Evidently if the thread Irks one they probably wouldnt even waist time replying. And as for it not being a family, but a community, whoop-d-friggin-doo you say tu-mato I toe-may-toe
Shit if people dont like answering questions that have allready been asked then dont respond is my only point.
Oh yea sorry if anyone else is offended by this thread but like i said it was just a means of communicating with my fellow brethren(sorry, community) while I am stationed away from my family, home and most importantly my FAST.

It's not just responding to questions. It's sifting thru hundreds of threads all asking the same thing. People don't want to have to scroll thru a thousand threads asking basic questions that can be answered by anyone who's taken the intiative and 60 seconds of their time to open the manual and read about whatever instead of flooding a messge board with the same old question.
I can't imagine too many are offended by this thread, but there's a reason that people get sick of hundreds of others asking basic questions that can be answered in the manual.
The search button exists for a reason.

I think it is pretty sad if folks would come here to have "friends". In my opinion, owners should refer to the manual first before they bother others here with these type of questions. People need to learn to be more self sufficient and not expect others to do everything for them.

You can try playing that card, but it isn't going to help. It was your choice. (assuming you really are in the military) I never said you WERE lazy, I said you SOUNDED lazy. I don't know you and can only comment on your post.
Yeah, people never post to threads that annoy them... And community and family are NOT the same thing. Sorry.
So it's ok for you to clutter the forum asking for answers to questions that have been answered already?? Most people view that as a waste of their time and disrespectful. It also makes the OP look lazy.

Once again lets not get our panties all in a knot(for real). It was just a question to see how insensitive people can be and how helpful people can be. Obviously some people on this forum have never had a question that has ever been asked. Oh Yea, and the way it came out sure did sound like one was lazy and immature with exclamations and all after it. But thick skin I have so I could really give a shit what is said about me.
