Love my CRV 1999. Does anyone know if there is an online 'usermanual.'

I have Firefox 1.5.0.12. Maybe I will take a look for the IE
tab, though. You're right occasionally one is better off,
for viewing purposes, with IE.

Okay. I shall keep my eyes peeled for more info on this.

And how do we know you're not, Jim? ;-)

It's amazing to me how much groups like this have replaced things like
reading the Owners Manual or getting a good shop manual. Or even
applying common sense! The old saw 'There is no such thing as a stupid
question' really isn't true when 'groups' are concerned...

I wonder whether you are neglecting things like the poster
had the smarts to go look for a resource that would answer
his questions; some people like to teach, so there are two
way benefits; etc.

I think a lot of folks still just need a little guidance on
/how/ to get questions answered, then they can fly on their
own. That can start at fora such as that which Usenet
provides.

IMO the internet and these fora are boons to the marketplace
of ideas. We all live better because of them. Without the
occasional so-called "stupid question," I don't think they'd
be the same. Learning is incremental.

Plus the anonymous, little moderated aspects of Usenet mean
no one can use his/her credentials as some kind of free
pass, immunizing his/her ideas from criticism. Substantive
ideas can be dissected by competent high school students
alongside the multi-graduate degreed. And why not? All one
needs in many cases is to think logically and read
carefully.

It's the ultimate free marketplace of ideas. This is a good
thing.

You're way, way out of date. I don't even know if IE Tab will work on your
version.

My own experience leads me to suggest you upgrade to the latest version of
Firefox as soon as you can. They've fixed a lot of bugs and added some very
nice features, like much more convenient control over cookies and pop-ups.
And it's very stable.

And even the tabbed browsing is real winner: When you shut down Firefox
with multiple tabs open, it will ask you if you want them all back again
next time you restart. You really learn to appreciate that one.

If you upgrade and don't see all the new features, you'll have to do a
complete uninstall of the old version and reinstall the new version from
scratch.

I love Firefox, personally.

And who really knows what/who anybody is in here or anywhere else?

Usenet is a sort of fantasy land where nothing is forced to be truly real.
You can tout yourself as anything you want to be and nobody's the wiser
unless you start saying things that are palpably wrong.

So do I, though I'd narrow this to a love for how much
faster it is loading compared to IE.

The old version works great, but I will keep in mind your
remarks on updating.

As always, good to compare notes on our 91 Honda/Acuras. I
really love it in this recession.

you don't! but you can ask questions and check facts. usenet
introduced me to people that just accept stuff as fact based simply on
the presentation style and they seemingly have no ability to research or
judge independently of that. utterly bizarre.

that's largely true in a time when there's groups.google.com and you can
look stuff up that's been asked a billion times before. but if it's not
there, asking "dumb" questions is absolutely the right thing to do.

personally though, i just can't be bothered with crap about "my
transmission doesn't work - what's wrong" or "why does my washer fluid
bottle take 4.7 quarts, not 5.3" - those idiots aren't here for real
questions - they're here because nobody they know personally will listen
to them.
