It's not about being right, Jaker
But then again, WHO ARE YOU to tell me what to do? I really don't care what "you have heard" and "what you have been told." Maybe you're young enough to worry about what people say about you.
For me, this site is mostly about being able to learn from others and to be able to pass that information on. That is why I chose to join this forum in 2012. I have learnt a lot about brands that we don't get in the UK and also being able to view and look at other vintage vacs. If you fail to see that, then you have a lot more to learn about vacuumland.
This isn't a place that you can necessarily shoot from the hip without much evidence, let alone not really check out other areas of the site. Due to changes to this site, I am still learning on aspects that I seldom use - but I read early on by Googling on how easy it was to find archive posts.
I have been a member of this forum longer than you, Jaker PLUS contributed greatly to this forum. I deeply resent your comment because you do NOT KNOW who you are dealing with.
Maybe you don't want to know - that is fine with me - but don't ever tell me to shut up when it isn't warranted.
