With the advent of so many more members and site users here, it is refreshing to see new members coming up with the age old answers to the fridge question(ref post 54349).
A tip for all of you: Do an Archive Search and you will find any amount of fridge related questions and answers which may leave you even more confused.....LOL
Cheers

Hi Willem,
Im one of those that will take months, even years to make a decision on a purchase [such as a fridge].
When Im close to a decision, technology has improved so much that a lot of the past info is obsolete and have to start researching again.
Hope to have a new fridge in say, about 20 years time....hehehe.
Cheers...Lionel.

Bring it on Waeco owners hehehehe

I'll bring it on if and when my Waecos fail Trev...lol
So far so good. The 50 litre Waeco has outlasted two 4WD vehicles that succumbed to the bleep e tracks I drove for a living, and it sits proudly in its third fourby right now.
If you want my 2 cents worth, all of the fridges at the high end of the market are robust and efficient.
Cheers,
Russ.

"If you want my 2 cents worth, all of the fridges at the high end of the market are robust and efficient."
Absolutely agree Russ, I have a 39lt Engel (very old) and a newer 32lt Waeco so I am not biased at all. Both work very
well.
I just like stirring the pot at times hehehehe.

Hello Willem - if you had taken the time to search the archives you would have seen that your advice to search the archives has been given several times before:) It is nearly as regular as the "fridge questions".
Its just a fact of
forum life that people will either not bother or maybe they have searched and couldn't get the answer they wanted. Also with the advent of new
forum users you will also get new answers, and as mentioned above, as time rolls on new solutions will arise - so its not all bad.
Maybe Dave could insert a big message on the screen when someone clicks New Thread that reminds them to do a search of the archives if they haven't already.
Cheers
Greg

Yer becoming an Old Woman...Greg.....lol. It was only an observation. I am amused that you would research how many times I have done this or that. You definitely have too much time on your hands.

Hey - your reference to me as an Old Woman is offensive to Old Woman, LOL. My comment was an observation as
well - based on my experience it is a waste of time telling people to search the archives, (despite it being good advice),
check spelling etc. It will keep on happening forever no matter what.
Also your amusement is misplaced - I meant the same advice you provided has been provided before. I wouldn't have a clue if it was you or some other old man trying to keep all the
young folk in line:)
All the best
Greg

Yer a complex person....Greg........LOL
Our humour takes on a variety of nuances not understood at times.
And the original post was just a small observation. Funny that it should elicit such diverse responses

Yeah I reckon some PHD psychology student would have a great time analysiing how people respond and react during "discussions" on this forums and how different (I assume) it would be to a face to face yak on same subject. There's a lot of "interesting" people out there in
forum land..... and a lot of them just wont search the archives (just trying to stay on topic:)
Cheers

Greg ,
You bring up a very interesting point regarding the way people interact on this site compared to how they would face to face .
I think it is like driving a car . Some normally meek and mild people become aggressive in a car and the same thing happens on here .
Maybe that is why
blogs and chat sites are so popular . They allow people to take on the personality they always wanted to have in real life .
Cheers ,
Willie
