Who says usenet is dead?
I've an old Jeep Cherokee that's in need of some carburetor work. So I wandered over into the rec.autos.makers.jeep+willys usenet newsgroup (on google for the NNTP impaired) and posted a question about it. This is the sort of reply that really helps:
...A kit includes most of the small parts seen at: http://www.carburetorfactory.com/expvw24.html Number 26 is responsible for you flooding problem. Usually the choke pull-off needs to be replaced too, that is not part of the kit, number 4.Wow, that's what I call being helpful. Weblogs are great and all but the community aspects of newsgroups should not go unnoticed. Of course one also notes it's got it's fair share of lunatics as well.
