![]() Perhaps there is a need for a new forum category. Something like "Hard Core Engineering" with a no newbie or subjective threads allowed theme ![]() ![]() ![]() There is also a risk that the best talent will be less likely to contribute when us of a lesser knowlege level post in the ordinary forums, but I think there comes a time when everyone gets sick of answering the same questions over and over, so it will probably happen anyway... I won't be surpised if people come down on me like a tonne of bricks over this suggestion, but thought I'd throw it out there ![]() Tony.

Ton of Bricks, reporting for duty, Sir!
I know of NO hard-core tech types (and I just spent several days locked in a room with some of them!) who discount subjective opinions and questions. There is a disdain for such that are accompanied by speculation that contradicts basic physics, however, especially when uttered with an air of absolute certainty and authority. I have trouble understanding why people have a hard time saying, "Huh, I think I heard this, I didn't check it rigorously, I could be mistaken, but maybe someone could suggest why this may be so?" Nope, it's always, "I hear this, I cannot possibly be mistaken or fooling myself, and I spit on the philistines with inferior equipment and hearing than my own." Even the most hard core of the hard core (and I would tend in that direction) are certainly open to the idea that someone might find something contradictory to their own experience and opinion, once some actual evidence (controlled subjective or measurement or both) are presented. There needs to be room and freedom for this.

Even when your not trying you can be insulting!
It comes across as "make it so hatched one" instead of "Make it so number 1" ![]() Terry

Mr Andy,
you have at any time been not other than honest and straightforward overhere and elsewhere. (but it did sound kind of amusing) A new category does not adress the issue brought forward by Mr Popa. I fail to see the added value of moderating contributors as Syn08, Glen, or the 2 Pavels to such an extent. As Syn08 indicated by the action of posting here, it merely leads to even more polarisation. |

I will always stand out against a life threatening designs and hoax designs.

Here you have written the explanation yourself, as to why nobody takes your statements as facts. Knowledge is based on proven facts, not faith, belief, or assumptions. If you replaced "I know" and "fact" in your posts, with "I think" and "I believe", you would have no controversies. Magura ![]()
