Mike's "opinions" are reliably helpful and accurate, and usually very quickly and concisely delivered, and it seems the only time he doesn't know something, it's completely inconsequential.

You could just use the "search this topic" function to check on anyone you're considering advising...

search each time before posting the limited knowledge base in my head, not going to happen. Guess I just have to figure it out after a couple posts.

If we only had a wiki; then we could create a list and anyone could edit it.

I just happened upon this thread and saw this post from two years ago. I feel so strongly about this I had to comment.

Mike is one of the nicest people on the planet. He has considerable knowledge and if he doesn't know he'll tell you. It's obvious Mr. BuzzBomb has never met or talked to Mike, and if he has his evaluation of personalities is distorted. Mr. BuzzBomb, you're full of crap.

Plus one and in total agreement that Mike W is a significant resource and all around nice guy on this forum. He has been very helpful to me in the past and honestly his post are concise and lack all pretention when it comes to cars. I would vote for him for mayor.

You don't advise Mike, he advises you. I'd listen . When you work on E 28s and cars in general, you need all the help you can get. This place is like any gathering of people. Attitude in noobs isn't the way to gain valuable knowledge. :roll:

I don’t need to apologize to anybody for any reason. if I had a problem with someone a few years ago, I must have had a valid reason. Get over it and fuck you too.

Wow Mike is now mentioned in 5 posts in this thread is that enough to make the list? bb's reply sure does put his stature in question with that fine holiday season wish to all.

No. The qualifications to be on the list are things (singly or in any combination) that will make it not worth your time to give advice/input to said person:
  • Too dense to understand the advice
  • Too stubborn to take the advice
  • Being an askhole
Factors that are not relevant:
  • The person is an ass
  • You got into an argument with this person
As such, Mike does not qualify.
