And it's so offensive and a grand waste of time for him to ask again.

He said he searched and didn't come up with anything. So he asked. Get your panties out of a twist, the ruffle might chafe.

It's a wonder people actually ask questions with people like you that have nothing better to do than harass them for asking a question.

This forum is really starting to get useless with the number of self appointed watchdogs around here.


I don't get lost, I investigate alternative destinations.

See a guy in the campground with a telescope, that may be me.

Tom (Pulsar) has a very informative search tutorial. Next time you try to search, read this first.


I was going to comment, even had a comment all typed out, then decided why bother....

Like has been said, this has been discussed many times. Everybody has their own reasons for the way they do things and everyone has valid points. I'll share mine. I own a flatbed trailer, and I still prefer four down towing. Sure, you can't back up four down, but you don't have to. It takes two minutes to disconnect and then you can back the car up anywhere you want. With a trailer, you have to back it up as it's not self-propelled unless you have herculean strength (my flatbed has a 150 lb. tongue weight empty). I personally see dolly towing as the worst of both worlds, but there are many who dolly tow and swear it's the best way. To each their own.
