But if I have to be a realist......

Hmmm . . . not so sure about that one. You may be interested to note that the phrase "modder" is actually in the name of the site

The one I am most familiar with is over-inflating the tires.

10psi over ?

Many of us use the max pressure stated on the sidewall of the tire. My car recommends 28 psi. Max sidewall pressure is 44 psi. I run 42 psi to allow for the heat in my area. You can run anything you're comfortable with.

No, you REALLY do miss the point.
Let me try again.
THis has nothing to do with how someone process information.
This is web based digital marketing....measuring clicks and hits and time on a page.
This could be about strippers, High school reunions, recipes....list goes on.
techniquely, I could post "asdfg ghjkl poiuy drert" and the digitsl tracker would record that as an intelligent post.
THat's why the mods said they would be monitoring the posts for content.


but on to your second point that "Aero-mods, stripping interiors and most hypermiling techniques can be interesting reads but that's it. An interesting read."

You obviously have no idea how or WHY forums work. you make a common mistake. "Everybody thinks like me" you couldn't be anymore wrong.
