The nice thing about using a vacuum enclosure is that you can shatter the envelopes of the tubes and modify the innards with nonmagnetic materials. You do need to use something more airtight than acrylic, though, and that diffusion pump can put out a lot of heat. I keep the rough pump in a subenclosure outside.
I've receive couple of e-mail complains asking
if "there is anything that can be done to calm this guy down" and about "this guy's ugly additude spreading to other threads".
I didn't know about SinBinning for contributing negatively, but apparently is's been done just recently. You may treat it as a formal warning.

Peter,
Threatening members with sinbinning because they disagree with other members opinion is very lame. Some of my posts are tongue-in-cheek attempts at humor, and if others don't have a sense of humor, I feel sorry for them. If they don't find me funny, that's fine - but should I be banned for that?
And as far as my posts in other threads, they are not negative, and are often helpful and informative. Please go read them before you make a judgment.

Joel,
It is not my intention to make judgement and pass opinions. I'm only acting on members suggestions. Before I became moderator, I said that I will never put anybody in a SinBin and I wouldn't like to do it in this case either.
Yet, if I will receive more complains and request for that kind of action I will be left without any choice.
By now, everybody knows already what is your opinion on certain issues and you don't have to remind us about it in every other post. Let's keep this place nice and friendly. It's not that hard, isn't it?

Lack of humour
Well I protest at the humour in all other threads.
Please can they be stopped too
My word! If doubting a concept or point of view is negative, we might as well shut down the forum.
This particular thread had run it's course as far as the original question was concerned. If people don't like a little lightheartedness, they needn't read it.
Peter, do you remember when you and Dice45 warned me not to carry on mentioning cathode followers because they're rubbish?
Deja vu

Hi John,
I don't think this is about the humour IMO.
Btw,I think this will interest you:
PASSIVE PARTS
Cheers,

There is a point that YOU particularly have to admit:
When we "argue" a point, we all do it in our own manner and language.
For me it's "Logical-cynical" (others may well have a different opinion
For Joel it's "NY loud"
For you it's "Experience says, abrasive"
We all have to accept that people argue in different ways.
As long as those are within the boundarys set up by the forum rules, we must accept them. It's not reasonable to complain to a moderator if you disagree with a point.
We don't have to get involved in threads if we don't want to.
Some good points have been made by members of varying persuasions in this thread. There has been some humour too - at the expense of mainly one side - that would appear to be the problem

This is scary... so, if I send you enough emails about someone else, then you will ban them? How nice! I'm glad to see this is how the forum really works.
Can I send you emails about Fred Deickman calling me clueless? and how about Brett calling me technically illiterate, and an idiot? It's funny that I don't see you publicly reprimanding them... or maybe that's because you happen to agree with them on this and other issues, and not with me?

Prefferably this would have to be e-mails not from the same person.

I'm not reprimanding them, because I believe they have a reason to say that. What is the reason for acting your way?
SOME EXPLANATION
Hi John,
Unless I suffer from severe memory loss I can't recall reporting anything to any moderator either regarding yourself nor Joel.
In fact I thought I did you and indirectly Joel a favour by pointing out that when Peter moderated it was my understanding that it was not for the bit of humorous posts.
Rather it was Joels' ongoing insistance that he doesn't hear any difference in passive components.
Which BTW I really don't mind as long as everyones' opinion is respected.
Also,IMO opinion you confuse abrasiveness with assertiveness.
Cheers,

But you previously said on:

That's what I was refering to Peter.

I was rather observing their superior knowledge, if we want to be exact.
And just out of respect for their superior knowledge and experience, I wouldn't be bragging every other post that I can't hear the difference, because it's just pathetic and quite funny in a long run, not to mention boring and offending.

Sorry guys,
I'm not alleging that any one of you reported it. But it's plain that someone (or 2) did, because Peter said so.
Frank, I was actually behaving conspiritorially towards you, but the wording was not good. What I meant to say was that we all have our idiosyncracies, and have to live with them, and together. No critisism was intended.
