6,000 posts? You have too much time on your hands. If you had a penny for each post, you would have...a bunch of pennies. (I told you I couldn't do calculus.)OMG! I was wrong again.
Good thing I don't have to give a penny back every time I give a wrong answer.
I couldn't help anyone Engineer anything. I couldn't engineer my way out of a paper sack.OMG! I was wrong again.

At your service, sir.I'm pretty good at coming up with a concept, after that it takes a bunch of "Nerds" to help me figure out the details.
Like I said: Ignorance is different than stupidity. It's okay to be ignorant... we all are ignorant of something. My beef is with people that have the knowledge but are too dumb or lazy to apply it - that's stupidity.I'm one of those guys that doesn't seem to get it, I guess. I'm math challenged and not ever trained in electronics, even though I do try to make things.
I ask questions not from a engineers perspective but as a hobbyists level. I don't need the physics behind how things work, just some rules of thumb. I'll never be at the level of most of the regulars, but do read most of the threads in the forum.
Is there a place for me in this world of AAC? I hope so. Am I on some peoples ignore list? Probably, but I hope not.
When I found AAC it was during a quest for knowledge in electronics. At 65+ years of age and after having two strokes, and no real electronics or physics back round is there a place here for some dummy like me? Again, I hope so. Before giving up on all of us dummies, please remember what it was like before you went to college and learned what you know. When you had no one to give you a hand or help.
Some times it just takes a little more, a different way of explaining, for it to click in a persons mind.
My rant over.
I agree Geo, however, some circumvent this by "creative" writing in the other sections. Recognizing them as homework questions and reporting them is important.I don't think we should follow a teaching procedure for anything other than Homework Questions.
