This is not a Tech-paid user site.!

That would explain why I am not seeing checks in the mail. Thanks Max.
Yes, even when an initial post mentions or states the poster may not be adept to electricity or electronics it sometimes takes a few post to really see where they are at. Heck, after 50 years of chasing electronics I still frequently see acronyms used and have to ask what they mean and every time I learn a new one it seems another comes along. While I was working I needed to stay abreast of change and new developments but since retiring I don't follow the new developments as much as once did.

And I can tell you from past experience on other fora of other topics, I've seen multiple people "choked off" .

On the other hand, I have seen very capable members leave forums such as this when they receive either some rude comments or abusive remarks from a O.P. that doesn't quite get the answer he is looking for etc.

Reminds me of someone else in high office

 

A little unwarranted IMO, it often takes a couple of posts to find out where the OP stands as to experience, a responder does not know until then whether they are talking over their heads or talking down to them.
Those of us here that try and answer questions are putting in their own time for (hopefully) the benefit of others.

Did I mention you personally?

Only the guilty flee where none pursue!.....Yes?

I'm sorry that we're out of medals,..........Would a paper hat do?

Most, if not all of the folks on here try to help each other, and no one is above reproach as to the manner in which they address any particular person asking for help, and that includes you and myself!

I've seen those myself.

I'm rather ashamed to admit I've made one or two in my lifetime, always out of sheer frustration that I couldn't get across to people that a) they weren't answering what I was addressing, and b) they were talking above me and not translating what they were saying to a form I could understand. I'm not proud of that, and hope that I've learned my lesson about it. Which is why I'm amazed that the forum here is so great. Sometimes, we just don't expect what we get. I'm very grateful for all the help I've gotten here. Thank you all.

The project is moving forward at the speed of government, and I'll keep everyone posted when I have updates.

Not quite, but you did quote me using a post of mine in #18.
I think I am entitled to respond.
Your sarcasm is not really appreciated.
You might have noticed I did not respond to post #6 as Ron did this quit adroitly.
At Which time I left it at that.

Re:"Your sarcasm is not really appreciated!"

And neither is your arrogance.

No need to dwell on past mistakes. We've all made them.

I'm glad you found this forum. It's a pretty great place. I'm still quite new at all this, and a lot of what I've learned came from these forums. People like MaxHeadRoom and Reloadron make this an incredible resource.

And yes, please do update as things progress. It's always nice hearing the success stories and lessons learned along the way.
