Fuel pump access panel - hack or mod

Nothing seems to bring out the opinionated side of people on TGO more quickly than someone asking for help to create a fuel tank access panel to change the fuel pump without dropping the rear suspension, exhaust and tank. In the midst of the most recent barrage of arrogant personal insults delivered by the same tag-team with moral objections to cutting an access panel, it was asserted that "the majority of people on TGO would rather drop the tank instead of cutting an access panel."

In the best interests of assisting others in the TGO family who may not be familiar with the principles of helping others instead of wandering off-topic into the fuzzy area of moral judgement, it seems prudent to initiate this poll to determine if TGO members consider creating a fuel tank access panel a hack or mod.

... given the fact that just about every thread on this topic has been locked due to immature behavior of those involved, it will be interesting to see what feedback a simple poll will generate.

That is exactly why a "simple poll" will yield exactly zero useful information and would be locked itself.
