I've just seen yet another thread opened (and promptly closed) because it was on an explicitly Automotive topic. As is often the case, it was from a first-time poster. Perhaps it did not help that his user name is the model designation of a motorcycle!
What surprises me is that they don't seek to be anything but explicit about what they are asking. In some cases like this one (deciding whether a DC wire was live, without breaking the insulation) the problem might be addressed without being so specific. I hasten to add that I am not trying to encourage such deviousness, just expressing my surprise.
Possibly we might applaud their honesty, but it seems more likely to me that they are simply failing to notice the restrictions, or deliberately not reading notices when they register. Could anything be done about that ?
