Am I talking too much?

Over the past few days I have been involved in a thread concerning the full load enrichment switch (EAC 4371) on a V12 engine. This part is NLA, and is critical in providing “Piston Insurance”. I found a replacement switch, and posted the results.Overnight I dismantled the OE switch, and made an interesting discovery, which could save other V12 owners money, and much aggravation. As I attempted to post the results of my find, a message appeared in front of me telling me that (in my own words) I was dominating the conversation, and should allow more time for others to join in. I am more of a “rule follower” than a “rule breaker” so how much time should be allowed before continuing the conversation?

As far as I’m concerned you can talk as much as you want. This is a discussion board, after all. If you have good info or commentary that you feel is useful I see no reason to wait. Post away !

Quality postings should always be welcomed, no matter the time interval between them.

Just my two cents. Let’s hear what others have to say.

Cheers

Dave,

A guy who talks too much? Well I never…

This is a built in “feature” of Discourse. The software monitors various metrics and interacts with you as you post.

I wasn’t aware that it actually stopped you from posting, but thought that it just pointed out that you might be dominating the conversation and informed you, but gave you a “Bugger off” option.

Did it actually stop you from posting?

Hi Andrew, Greetings!
It was a computer telling me off then, ok, I can handle that! No, it did not prevent me from continuing the post, just “discouraged” the attempt. I suppose I can get carried away sometimes, it’s been a LONG winter here.Best, D.

Dave your posts are very useful, informative and much appreciated. The research and experimentation you recently did concerning a replacement for the out of production EAC 4371, was priceless. If the EAC 4371 fails, piston tops can melt. That turns a good car into junk. You found and tested an EAC 4371 replacement, and even posted pictures of it and where to buy it. Everyone on this site who owns a V12 that uses this vac switch, should be made aware of your find.
