The doors on the TL are so annoying
Can't ever leave the door open it always comes back and tries to close. Why is this and how can I fix this? Its embarrassing when I am constantly fighting with the door pleading that it will stay in place if I am grabbing something from my car.

The search function is your friend. Sometimes if you find you aren't getting good results try typing "acurazine" first into google, then whatever phrase you would have normally put into the search bar.

good news
the accord door checkers did eliminate the self closing feature on the tl. i did the driver side door this weekend and took me about 20 mins to swap out the door checkers. the door still feels a little "light" but it has more of a drag which causes the door to no longer self swing back.
great mod for those who are tired of the "automatic closing doors"
i plan on doing the passenger side this coming weekend.
stock tl "groved door checker"
accord "flat" door checker
compared side by side
accord door checker installed

Hmm, this makes a ton of sense (such a newb!)
I'm always getting my legs closed in the door and blame it on my slanted driveway. This makes a ton of sense now. Now I can tell people stop slamming my doors because they're fancy self-closing doors

This is funny. Whenever I drive my wifes Jeep GC, I get out and close the door as I do in my TL. I look behind as I'm walking away and the GC door is still open. I have to walk back and close the door the rest of the way. I would always think that they didn't do a good job with the doors like the TL is. I much prefer just getting the TL door started and it easliy closes.

It's pretty annoying having to adapt to a new way of dealing with doors. Make a conscious effort to open the door kind of slowly until you feel the notch for the hold positions. After a while you'll be able to do it quickly and it becomes a nice feature instead of a nuisance.

I've always loved the way the doors close. I usually get in or out and let them shut without touching the door. My mom and friends however, hate that it closes on their legs.
