Sorry to sound like an *** but wtf? This topic has been discussed so many time's it's ridiculous. Not to mention, I'd like to know what he means by "I have a spacer"? Does that mean he has one in his hand or installed on the vehicle?
First, dude, chill the heck out. Turn the computer off and go outside for a bit.

Second, an air cleaner spacer is a lot different than a throttle body spacer. It's true, we don't know what the OP has but both types have been explained before your post.

Calm down. It doesn't matter how many times a topic has been discussed. If it pisses you off, don't reply to it. What I have noticed is that a newb will join, ask a question that's been asked a 1000 times before and get his answer. The next time the question is asked, that newb, who now has the power of knowledge on that topic, then answers it and feels like he/she is helping the community.

You were a newb once to and so was I. So calm down.

True, but most of us figured out how to search before asking questions that have already been asked a million times.

The OP said tb spacer so I would assume with the vast advertising out there he has one of those useless spacers that supposedly helps fuel economy.

Understood. But perhaps this person is new to forums in general. We don't know.

The point is, yelling and screaming in caps over the internet is pointless, and only serves to turn people like me, who do have a lot to contribute, away as well as newbs who don't yet know better. Perhaps a polite reminder to search would be in order.

My post count at the *other* Dodge based forum is 10 times what it is here, because this kind of thing doesn't happen very often there.

True, sometimes some of us (me included) fly off the handle a little, especially if we've had a bad day. Sometimes the "newb" ends up being the straw that broke the camel's back. Sort of like the new guy at work, not asking for advice on one of your bad days, and mucks something up. You yell at him or treat him like dirt over it, and apologize later after you've cooled down.

I completely understand and have had days like that as well. I used to do the same thing.

Now, when I'm having a bad day, I try my best to just not post at all. Plenty of knowledgable people here and over at the *other* place. I just let one of them handle it. I figure, their question will get answered, doesn't have to be by me. Not everyone has a bad day at the same time.
