In hindsight, some of my questions were pretty dumb but nobody flamed me for asking for help. I assume that was because even the dumb questions were asked honestly with no attitude, ego, my car's better than your car, unsolicited opinions, etc. None of that nonsense. If you check all of that at the keyboard, this site can be very helpful.

Your experience in those days was the same as mine (I lurked around late 2008-ish and joined in 2009). The forum was very helpful in sorting things out when I was making my purchase decision. The anti-Shelby bias was not as rampant then. When I was having the DFI issues there were lots of good pointers and suggestions. It's only in the past year or so that the primary focus has become the essence of this topic. Over and over again.
I think the only outstanding technical question I still have is "which are the boy bolts, which are the girl bolts, when do they mate, and why do they drop their children on my garage floor".
