Re: IML: tired threads

[Alex Ferch <alxf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I, on the other hand, would prefer to see less threads about blinker fluid, naming certain eras, and such, and more about parts, repair procedures, leads on reputable or unreputable shops, and tech tips. I've seen just about every topic here tossed around including politics and religion, while substantive technical questions are ignored. We all have our preferences of course, but I for one don't have the time or the inclination to read or engage in most of what passes for Imperial posting here. Regardless, as long as everyone gets something out of this list it is worthwhile.There's my two cents; do with it as you may. Regards, Alex 63 Crown

I wholeheartedly agree with the list of Imperial related threads.

 

I would also add that if there were no threads about  blinker fluid, what I like or don't like about Imperials , or dare I say it  what to call a certain era of imperial  this would be a dull list indeed.

I recently dropped from another mailing  list because it seemed to be no more than an  electronic parts hunt combined with a heads up to e-bay auctions .

I would sure hate to see this list become that

Of course this is just my .02 cents worth of opinion.

Well, Mikey, try these few general threads on for size for Imperial-related threads that never tire me:

 

1. Repair Problems

 

2. Diagnostic techniques, especially electrical

 

3. Parts Sources

 

4. Vendor Ratings (good, bad, indifferent, comments)

 

5. Special Tools -- Sources and Alternatives

 

6. Safety-Related Topics (e.g., dangers of split p/s hoses)

 

7. Tune-up Tips

 

8. "What went wrong and how I finally fixed it...."

 

9. Cars for Sale

 

Give me as many e-mails as you want on such topics as these, and forget the blinker fluids and the muffler bearings which do nothing to enhance my understanding of Imperials or their maintenance.

 

Best regards, Jim

 

 

 

From Mikey....

 

While its certainly true I was definetly an instigator of the blinker fluid
, and  that I have on more than one occasion contributed to my share of
threads, flame wars and off topic items,  I would just like to know WHAT
threads people DONT  get tired of!  If we could get a list of just those
topics then Im sure we could collectively beat those horses  to death as
well. :)

Thanks
