Well the web is also good for direction. For instance, you have O.Gs that want to help people who do have questions. Take wheels for instance...if you don't know anything about wheels, the internet can help you ask people that do. It is not that you are "copying" you might want a quality wheel and don't know anything about it.

Is "copying" a bad thing? I've modeled one vehicle after a guy I admired b/c I thought it looked perfect. To be respectful I asked is it okay if I go with a very similar theme. I was young and didn't know nearly as much as I did now, so the internet helped us both out. He got to share knowledge, I got to modify in a way I felt matched my personality.

Good discussion here.
