I have to respectfully disagree with Johan as well. I am one who will scour the internet for information BEFORE I contact the list. Even if I have been able to locate information generally available to the public, it almost always "pales in comparison" to the rich information garnered from those on the CR list. I have found that my fellow CR listers have rich stories, valuable experiences, hard to find parts and resource pictures that they are more than willing to share with the rest of us. As for those who generously share that information, I really think they are as eager to pass it on to me as I am to receive it.
My suggestion to anyone would be to simply ignore those who ask questions you don't like, if you don't feel like sharing. No one will know and you can use the list the way you want to use it. As for me, I want to learn more and this list fills that need. I just hope that I am learning enough to be a resource one day.
