SeaFoam How-To....?
Anybody have time to do one? Im sure its pretty straight forward, and im not too worried that I cant handle it...I just think it would be a good idea to have here for people who dont know about it. That way, when the topic comes up again, we have a sticky for it.

I was going to say the same thing... Do a search and you will find everything you need. Pull the hose out of the Brake booster and put the hose inside a cup with 1/3 of the Seafoam. Let it sit for around 5 minutes. Put the hose back and rev your car between 3k and 5k until most of the smoke is gone. You are done.....!!!

.....again, I know what the process is. I was simply asking so that we could have a thread in the how-to's so that there arent 600 threads on the same topic. sorry that I asked.

I'm still a newb, and probably could use a how-to, but I was reading the seafoam website, and it says there are instructions that come with it

.....again, if you would have cared to read what I wrote, I AM NOT WANTING THIS FOR MYSELF. I simply asked if someone would take this on and make a permanent sticky so that we ALL didnt have to see the same topic on a million threads everyday. So again, I DIDNT ASK FOR MY BENEFIT. I UNDERSTAND THE WAY THIS WORKS. If you werent so quick to attack, maybe you would have realized this.

Note Puppet, Lontar, and Progress's responses and I'm sure they've probably seen about a dozen threads on seafoam.

let me first start off with a big IBTL 
And secondly, why do we even need to have this in the stickies? The freaking instructions come ON THE BOTTLE! if people would just go out and spend a whopping $4 or whatever it is and get it BEFORE asking stupid questions about it, i think it would make a bit more sense....And i'm sorry, but i saw no attack by sooner...he IS just telling it like it is...it's rediculous....the how-to is out there..you could have PMed a mod about it instead of starting this rediculous thread...

But you also have to understand that a lot of people dont think that way. They just want answers now. Frankly, I dont even care anymore about this topic. Put a link to it in the How-To's or not, it doesnt bother me, but give it another month, and we'll be going through it all again.
Ive been a member for almost 6 years now, and a lot has changed. When I first came on here, everybody was eager to help each other. This forum was a club, and you only needed to own a Maxima to get respect here. Now, it seems, people just want to post-***** it up with negative comments and condesending tones. As ive asked before, why take the time to post a reply that does nothing but cause resentment? Im so tired of the "higher-than-thou" attitude...

People who need spoon-feeding FTL....
The forum rules clearly state the need to read the Stickies AND search this forum and other relevant forums before posting.
People have always been helpful and always will be helpful, but that doesn't mean the others out there should just ask indiscriminately without putting in any effort of their own. I see nothing wrong with members expressing disapproval at that because most of the time everyone only considers the feeling of those who are "hurt" when those people don't abide by the rules to begin with. If they are never told, however harshly, they will never learn to put in some of their own effort.
And yes, it is apparent when someone has done their homework vs just being lazy.
Just because a good write-up isn't in the Stickies doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Yes, it is helpful to have some of the "shortcuts" in the Stickies... but should we sticky ALL the write-ups and good threads? Not necessarily.
