 Welcome to the shack. You won't find anyone going for the jugular here. It just is not how we do things. Your post seems intended to attract a debate, and that is a good thing. Some of your opinions seem a bit off-tilt, but as most are, likely based on some truth. You will probably find that there are lots of folks here with lots of differing opinions, and not many who tend to skate around issues. We can discuss, debate, learn, and teach all at the same time that we remain civil. As my Dad used to say, you seem like someone willing to tell "how the cow eats the cabbage." That is fine, just keep it clear what is opinion and what is fact, respect the rights of others to differ, and you will find this is a great place to be.
Hmmm a physicist turned engineer. I expect some interesting discussions are coming... |
Greetings Icaillo:
"Go for the jugular" was said in jest. I often write in that manner, and it is only meant to be humor. I detest Neanderthals!
My post was not intended to attract debate, but merely to express my uncoloured feelings. If it attracts debate, I will consider my introduction to this Forum as a useful introduction.
If my opinions are off-tilt, it is because I'm in 'learn-mode'. Just the same, I would like to know what those off-tilt opinions are, just to give me a footing in this Forum. If it's just a general comment, don't waste the bandwidth; if it's something you want me to address directly, let's hear it.
I interpreted the following statement as you chastising me, and erecting warning signs to the effect: "Danger Will Robinson, danger Will Robinson; intruder, stay away". I hope that this is just a misperception on my part, and I'm sure it is - I want to clarify things up front. The other part of your statement regarding opinion and fact is very nebulus. Music by its very nature is undefinable in physics as either objective or subjective. I'm sure you know that, it just happened to appear in your Father's quote, but I thought I'd mention it. So all should be wary which boundaries they dare to cross.

I am at a loss as to what the following refers to, but if you explain, I'll certainly try to do my part.
