No offense and not to get between this....but..
Wow..sorry but I'm handing out a long-winded comment. I hope some of you guys won't cringe.
Since my few years here at aw.org, I've never encountered such a deep and lengthy discussion above that,with respect to all good intentions by both members, has stopped me in disappointment. I don't know why the above conversation should be included in this posting as my thought is...I would pm a person in private with my opinion of their personality slant on appiances. You all have a various degree of knowledge and experiences and can easily compare notes with each other,without really needing to look to one person's experience and knowledge for all your last word help. If you take interest in a brand,follow some threads here with those who enjoy repairing, maintaining and offering helpful advice. And as long as you're aware of any pitfalls,the only thing you need advice on is being sure you have backup of parts or appliances. The people who are reading John's advice will either agree in their own experiences or mention," not necessarily the whole picture for me". I understand some reasons to put a person in their place. I'm wondering if I'm the only one who thinks a delivery of this strong opinion of anyone,not just of John,really belongs in a private message or somewhere else. I'm not really sure it makes a difference to express an opinion of someone who has become disdained for their posting authority. I always try to get other opinions and I'm not always directly sold on a certain expert's advice....if I still...desire to own that aplliance,car,or whatever. To put what I'm saying into an example... I bought a washer dryer Whirpool Calypso set. I would agree those touch panels are really funky..they will go bad. I read to steer clear or have backup parts..advice from more than one person. You need a donor machine. Our dryer board failed and sin e I really liked this Whirlpool I had to buy another identical dryer(lucky purchase) and successfully swapped out the touch panel control board. I remember John saying in my many postings here on aw.org that he wasn't a fan of electronic panels, and would opt for manual analog. I did see a recommendation to steer clear of electronic paneled washer and dryers. But I am willing to discard advice to follow my passion or preferences,
regardless of known flaws in parts and design. Not to take sides, but John does help and he has provided us with a direction ..if you choose that direction! If I had anything to say to John or anyone else,it wouldn't be in a posting here. This is just my humble thought. Please know,I respect everyone and understand the more experienced one becomes in their hobbies and professions,the more discriminating one becomes. Just keep a perspective on your interests and preferences,but don't be critical of those who might be over-selling their knowledge. If you're pissed off ,disgusted,or fed-up with someone...how will posting your thoughts openly to that person be successful in making a change? Pointing out character flaw,especially publicly,( if that's what you are ultimately shooting for) has little chance in imparting a change...I believe.
I apologize for a long-winded comment. I'm typically the guy who tries to find a few good applances of interest to view or acquire, posting fewer of lately of interest. My approach is to overlook some people's preferences,sort that out with any offered advice and put it all into perspective. So whether anything I've expressed here will make any changes,my best hooe is to ask anyone to post personal criticism of others in other places..pm them or mention it in that other anything goes forum. Most of all..keep a little sense of humor. Maybe skme people are beyond tgat,that, it's good in the long run to not get too serious when a a little light sarcasm works wonders. Ignoring some things can be seemingly impossible but few can help improve a personality makeup by charging criticism. I hope to be around here now and then to maybe post some more appliances of interest. Thanks all...hope your coming summer is good.
