Thanks hawkjm73

Although I disagree. I see that you have made many valuable posts, however, only once or twice in 150+ posts did you include your year...which could be very valuable to the person who is reading your post. Your advice is great, but it many not apply to a different year vehicle...and I often see the incorrect advice given to people with different year/package vehicles.

Thanks KTphil
(2005, package 6, Southern California)

However, how I am commandeering the board, when Danny sent out an email (just look higher up in this thread for a copy of it), stating that this information was now required. Unfortunately, he did not program it so that current users would have to do it before posting again...however, if you go into your profile, you can't leave without adding this information. So all I am trying to do is to help everyone to follow Danny's rules.

Once again, both you and hawkjm have included this information in posts, so why not just add it.

You have over 900 posts...and only a handful of times have mentioned to the person you are responding to the year and / or package of your vehicle. Is that person to just blindly follow your information, assuming that you know that your information fits their year and model? Since many people accidentally give information that applies to a different year and package, how can everyone who does not know you trust that you know them?

Look, no one is trying to control anyone. Just making it easier for everyone. If you feel that way, why not join a Toyota board so no one knows your model, or better yet a car board so no one knows your make, or even better a transportation board so no one knows your mode of transport.

Please let's not make more of this then it is. Danny has requested this information and it is his board.

Thanks

Thanks Evan,

I really value your opinion, as in every post of yours I have read, you are always nice and helpful and never act like you are the "all knowledgeable" Prius king that your really are.

As I stated above, knowing the year and package of the the person giving you advice also goes a long way.

Thanks!

Mike

Yes, your right, I think it was not an email. I believe it actually appeared one day when I entered Priuschat (although it may have been emailed to me in a link, I can't remember). Maybe others can verify. If that is the case, then people who did not update, had to have bypassed Danny's message. What I don't get is why some people are so against this...yet have no problems being listed as a "senior prius poster"...and have never brought up an issue with listing the number of posts they have or their member number...I guess those things are Ok?

Moving on...

Thanks, those of us who support this really do appreciate your help with this. I would assume you would want to use package 6, as that matches up with your 2005 vehicle. So it would not be ambiguous to those who know the packages for the 2005 year. That is the goal, to properly identify the year and package. People with a 2005 would know that the package 6 is the "everything" package.

That actually brings up another idea...for Danny to have an area where he listed each model year with the packages...all in one easy to look up area.

Anyways, thanks again...I hope we can have a better thread between us sometime soon.

It is not about your caring, it sometimes matters to the person reading your post.

Gee Frank,

I thought people from Vancouver were a lot nicer then that!

....continued for koa's what ifs...

Maybe they removed their location just before their post?...sound familiar koa? How come you listed Hawaii in your profile before, but omitted it for this post?

I completely agree with those stating that the information can be in their post, their signature, or their profile. As long as it is there, it does not really matter where it is listed.

However, the signature and profile are better then the post, because it is all to easy to forget to add that information to each and every post.

So far those who have argued against listing this information, upon research, have not been adding this information to their post, even when giving advice to others who also have not listed it....so how is this information then helpful?

Hey, if you are posting on a non-Prius subject, then who cares about that information...you guys are right about that...but if you also give advice...then it is another story.
