Default Dweebs

Those of us around the forum a while have seen the different types of members.

There are the solid, experienced members who know what they're talking about and somehow seem to never tire of the "Why are the hill descent, traction control and ABS lights on?" questions. They give good advice and enjoy helping others.

There are the panicked neophytes (God bless 'em), whom we enjoy helping.

There are other types too, but the type I will focus on are the dweebs. They're the ones who appear from nowhere, speak as though they know everything, and tell the solid, experienced members how wrong they are. Another variety of dweeb are the ones who go to ridiculous extremes to try to turn their trucks into vehicles to help them survive the Apocalypse. (Where will they get fuel?)

For quite a while I've observed the dweebs but held my tongue. No more. Yeah, I'm chicken. I created this user profile to be able to call out the dweebs anonymously. The admins may block this account. Who knows? But in the meantime I hope to provide some entertainment by calling out the dweebs. Stay tuned.

Yep dweebs will certainly come & go. I love LR's so I'm always here to help. A lot of it is repeating stuff, but if the person that needs the info learns from it = all worth it.

@Dweeb Discovery ... I think I know who you are talking about.
They popped up on the forum and started answering everyone’s questions even posts from 2012. Lol

Keith, I've looked at your posts and you are absolutely not a dweeb. We're happy to have you as a forum member, and future leading forum contributor!

I have often thought about posting my ignore list. But, then they would know I don’t give two poops about what they think
