Watching YouTube videos pertaining to Model-A repair or restoration...

One other thought on this. I find it interesting where a hobbyist might abstain from joining a local Model-A club because there is the potential where a club member might 'roast a newbie' yet that hobbyist might participate in a social media setting that has a great amount of misinformation and mis-guided opinions being given by 'Keyboard Warriors' who generally have no real-world experience in what they are writing or giving advice on. Then when an experienced hobbyists offers information that disagrees with the 'warrior's' writings, they often bash or flame the experienced hobbyist to protect their own ego.

Oh the irony in your comments!

Again, we're in this hobby together. National clubs, local clubs, parts suppliers; we're all in this for the same common interest. The hobby does not benefit when we tear each other down and insult someone's knowledge.

Four pages later, did anyone reach out to the guy who made the video and offer to help him? Has anyone invited him to this site so he can perhaps gain or even share his knowledge? Maybe he made the video for his personal use as satire. We don't know.
