I've got no problem with them staying -- yours and mine -- and letting people take from them what they will.Gentleman, keep in mind I spent hundreds f hungry hours learning to use a compass in the age of GPS. I don't need to he lectured on the importance of understanding theory and the old fashioned way of doing things. If you pay attention to the way I ask this and any other question on this forum, you will notice I ask for guidance and not solutions, and want a direction to search.
I am dissapointed in Wbahns comments, and I ask that they be removed, as well as my reply. They reflect a lack of professionalism and an unfounded, disrespectful personal attack that should not be immortalized on these pages.
Barring moderation, if you remove your comments, Wbahn, I will remove mine.
You say that you want a direction to search. The problem you were trying to work specifically hinted that Gaussian elimination was the recommended way to go. You don't know how to do Gaussian elimination and, not wanting to learn it, you asked for an easier way. It was pointed out that Gaussian elimination very likely WAS the easiest way and links to material on it were provided. You response was that you can't be bothered make the effort to learn it on your own because you have one poorly written guide on it and so you prefer to wait for someone to come along and teach it to you.
What would your reaction be to a fellow spec ops trainee that had that same attitude when it came to learning how to use that compass?
