My buddy just wanted to know why his car was making a noise. He got a 12 paragraph email back about metallurgy and stress fractures from his uncle, a former mechanic. Sometimes people just have too much knowledge to share. It's kind of sweet but also a lot.

Oh man, that is so real. My dad does the same thing with computers. Ask him why a website is slow and you get a 45 minute talk about server architecture and internet backbone history. It comes from a good place, but you just wanted the simple fix, you know?
