Love my CRV 1999. Does anyone know if there is an online 'user manual.'

You're right occasionally one is better off, for viewing purposes, with IE. >> You do not buy the collapsed oil control ring spacer >> theory >> you posted recently here?

I shall keep my eyes peeled for more info on this. |

And how do we know you're not, Jim? ;-) It's amazing to me how much groups like this have replaced things like reading the Owners Manual or getting a good shop manual. Or even applying common sense! The old saw 'There is no such thing as a stupid question' really isn't true when 'groups' are concerned... Dan D Central NJ USA |

I wonder whether you are neglecting things like the poster had the smarts to go look for a resource that would answer his questions; some people like to teach, so there are two way benefits; etc. I think a lot of folks still just need a little guidance on /how/ to get questions answered, then they can fly on their own. That can start at fora such as that which Usenet provides. IMO the internet and these fora are boons to the marketplace of ideas. We all live better because of them. Without the occasional so-called "stupid question," I don't think they'd be the same. Learning is incremental. Plus the anonymous, little moderated aspects of Usenet mean no one can use his/her credentials as some kind of free pass, immunizing his/her ideas from criticism. Substantive ideas can be dissected by competent high school students alongside the multi-graduate degreed. And why not? All one needs in many cases is to think logically and read carefully. It's the ultimate free marketplace of ideas. This is a good thing. |

I don't even know if IE Tab will work on your version. My own experience leads me to suggest you upgrade to the latest version of Firefox as soon as you can. They've fixed a lot of bugs and added some very nice features, like much more convenient control over cookies and pop-ups. And it's very stable. And even the tabbed browsing is real winner: When you shut down Firefox with multiple tabs open, it will ask you if you want them all back again next time you restart. You really learn to appreciate that one. If you upgrade and don't see all the new features, you'll have to do a complete uninstall of the old version and reinstall the new version from scratch. I love Firefox, personally. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

And who really knows what/who anybody is in here or anywhere else? Usenet is a sort of fantasy land where nothing is forced to be truly real. You can tout yourself as anything you want to be and nobody's the wiser unless you start saying things that are palpably wrong. > Substantive > ideas can be dissected by competent high school students > alongside the multi-graduate degreed.

> I love Firefox, personally. So do I, though I'd narrow this to a love for how much faster it is loading compared to IE. The old version works great, but I will keep in mind your remarks on updating. As always, good to compare notes on our 91 Honda/Acuras. I really love it in this recession. |

Or even > applying common sense! The old saw 'There is no such thing as a stupid > question' really isn't true when 'groups' are concerned... that's largely true in a time when there's groups.google.com and you can look stuff up that's been asked a billion times before. but if it's not there, asking "dumb" questions is absolutely the right thing to do. personally though, i just can't be bothered with crap about "my transmission doesn't work - what's wrong" or "why does my washer fluid bottle take 4.7 quarts, not 5.3" - those idiots aren't here for real questions - they're here because nobody they know personally will listen to them. |
