All though I'm new to this forum...I was sure that the links to the TIS & WDS sites had been posted before.
But for information like this...someone new to BMWs or new to this forum...wouldn't have a clue to search for it...they may have never heard of or seen the acronyms TIS & WDS. Something like this gets mentioned and many of the uninformed & new members may only find out about it only because the thread was posted and is at the top of the forum.
For those of us that have been around the farm a long time...have to remember sometimes that there's a steep learning curve for noobs...so sometimes the same information needs to get posted over & over again just because there are new people always coming in.
New members coming in is the lifeblood of a forum and is how it remains relevent, successful, and a viable resource. The downside to this is that those that have been around a while...tend to have to repeat the same stuff over and over again, or pointing noobs to where they can find the information they seek, or by explaining the 'lingo' or giving tips of what to search for.
Just my simple thoughts on why the links were reposted...it wasn't for the old timers...but for the new fresh bloods.
