Then "please, please" don't start an aggressive thread calling for a boycott of people who don't update their profiles. It's not the fact that you're requesting people update their information that bugs me; it's the fact that you're badgering people about it. I've seen a number of posts here where the Model/Package and Location are TOTALLY irrelevant to the question being asked, but you (or someone else in the "Profile Gestapo") feel the need to take the person to task for not updating their profile information.

Which has caused, it seems, valuable contributors to leave the forums entirely in some cases. I'm thinking specifically of the Oh, deer. thread, but I'm pretty sure this wasn't the only occurrence.

quick note, the steering is electric assist not conventional PS fluid pump hoses steering box etc. because the ICE stops and starts as need and as it will stop when the car is moving no assist would be available. Glad your test of the car was a success.

Thanks Frank!

There is so much technical stuff to learn about the Prius that I really did not have enough time during the test drive. Once I had my hands on one I wanted to drive it. I noted in my review that I spent so much time trying it out that I forgot to look under the hood before I returned it to the rental agency! 8-)

All this badgering about the profile information is silly.

In protest, I've removed my profile information.

Hahaha, LOL!!

I'm going to boycott the boycott.

All this Profile Policing is ridiculous for the most part...

Thing is, it seems to mirror what our government is doing, Maybe mssmith is an undercover operative trying to undermine the (misguided conception) liberal, tree huggers on the PC site. We know Toyota is watching us but who else??????????

Big Brother wants to know.....

ok, so boycott was a strong way to put it.

Thanks everyone for the debate on both sides...let's just let this one die!

Please, please, even if you agree with me, DO NOT HASSLE PEOPLE OVER THIS ON OTHER THREADS!

This was not meant to have the effect, and for that I am sorry.

I agree with many, that if someone doesn't want to update, there is no forcing, and everyone should make their own decision when it comes to who they respond to.

Please if I have offended any of you, that was not my intent. Please, let's just have fun posting!
