I have recieved a few PMs from people with zero posts. I thought PMs counted as a post. The last one I got was today from someone who has been a member here since 2010 but has no posts. Whats up with with that?

No posts, no problem. You guys discount the credibility of someone with 20 posts. Hey, if someone wants to buy a car and you don't list an email, what do you expect?

Dan, on the 914, you have no email or phone no. I saw. Your profile lists no email. I guess you expect people to walk a 100 miles in the desert to see the car.

I do not list my email or phone because I am in the Porsche business so to speak. I don't want to be inundated with emails about Porsche related questions. I am not trying to be difficult! I simply was posting a question as to why someone could post and not have a "post count".
PMs are always welcomed and I will respond.

Will a fuel tank from a 1968 911 fit a 1971 914? How about a 917? I have this noise in the back end of my car . . . it sounds really loud. Like a machine or something is living back there under that piece of painted metal with the grill on it. Is that normal? Should I call you and talk about this instead of posting it here?

FWIW, I listed some stuff in the classifieds & got a response from someone and it was his first post. Gave me the heebie jeebies, but the PayPal funds went through just fine.

I think some folks find it a tad daunting here & prefer to read but not participate until they want to buy something.

YMMV.
