O.K. So lets not be sarcastic - since there are so many threads so closely related let's pick one and revive a thread, so the next person searching doesn't have to read all thru this one, too, to not find anything new.

Maybe, but I doubt it.
He was assuming I didnt read or search for the answer to a question.
Fact is i did search, and came across ALL those threads too. He was so quick to assume im a fool.

When in fact, the point of the post wast to get a definitive answer to the question. it was to determine the most popular/cheapest/least popular.most expensive and so on.

If he wanted to "help" he coulda just answered the question.

Furthermore! I do have some question. I posted them in the correct spot/thread for that type of question and they are being ignored. If only he was so quick to actually help instead of flaming on some1.

I dont see the point in reviving a thread started in 2004. with technology changes happening monthly if not faster.
In fact most the threads that you find while using the search feature are very old. sure there may be a few newer post at the end where some1 tried to revive it, but mostly it full of useless dated obsolete data.

just close the thread. sorry i asked.....

Seriously, what is up with you guys? He basically asked what some of the current users of the site were using for internet access in their cars. It looks like he did a search and was maybe just looking for some new opinions with this post. Im sure anyone whos willing to answer him will. Why is the number one answer here "use the search function"?

Simple.
The information is already here. What's the point of having lots and lots of threads about the same exact thing?

Having lots and lots of threads about the same thing would make it that much more difficult for new members to locate the information they seek. It's far more productive to have one thread to consolidate it all.

Ayone who's grumbled about finding information on these forums understands exactly what I'm talking about. There's already lots and lots of crap to weed through to find information. The main cause of that is people thinking that it's perfectly fine to start a new thread instead of contributing to an existing thread.

Well, that seems a little revisionist. Looking at your original post and thread title, you asked people to post their internet mobile solution without saying you wanted to catalog the cheapest/easiest/least popular solution.

It would have been good to start this topic in the FAQ Emporium, since there isn't a FAQ on mobile internet solutions. It would be a good add. Why don't you restart this thread in there with a title like: "FAQ: Everything you need to know to get mobile internet in your car"

An additional entry in the Wiki would also be very helpful. I know I could use a FAQ like that. I'm totally lost when it comes to wireless mobile. I'd love to put tracking in my car but I just can't come up with the time to research how to do it cheaply and easily.
