There are many on these fora here that will disagree with your statement. But thank you. I too while in no way related to Aleph like her also, but there has been too much good in this thread to let it go unfinished. Just my opinion.

I base most of my answers on experience not theory, theory comes from books but experience comes from the world.

Wisdom comes from combining theory with experience. Don't make the same uninformed decision twice.

 

And, yet, I've never seen you both in the same place at the same time...

Yebut, that's all down to The Pauli exclusion Principle (q.v.)

Come to that, considering your congress with spirits (of the distilled variety, of course) - one wonders that you might, on occasion, observe the self-same 'subject' in multiple locations simultaneously wot? -- A la Lou Gramm

With jocular intent (i.e. I clearly perceive that you, sir, are a connoisseur --as opposed to a 'juice artist'...)
Also sincerely pleased to see your continued participation on these fora despite your self-imposed 'exile'...

Very best regards

I'll only get involved in conspiracy theories if I have reason to not have faith in a fellow human - if it will change my life.

As, for instance, was I to claim to be none other than Somerset Belenoff ?

Agreed - à la my 'mantra': "School (etc...) is for credentials -- Whereas education takes place exclusively in the real world!"

Very best regards - and many sincere thanks for your kind words!

School (structure) is where you learn to organize and build from Education. IMO, one without the other leaves a void that limits the upper end of creativity. Credentials really on matter in the beginning of a professional education as a mater of trust needed to spend large amounts of other peoples money. That makes it worth the effort.

--Emphasis Added--

No argument there -- but then it is my observation that 'structure' is a rapidly waning 'attribute' of a (sizable) majority of academic institutions -- That said, self discipline yet exists --scarce as ever-- but holding its own, as it were

Credentials really on matter in the beginning of a professional education as a mater of trust needed to other peoples money.

Sadly, IMHO, considering what 'school' has become - credentials are all too often less than meaningless... And, as such, should never be considered testimony of competence, grasp or even 'nodding acquaintance' with the subject/study/discipline 'in play' sans exhaustive research as Re: the 'track record' of said (alleged) expert/professional...

Many thanks for your considered response!

ATTN: @Aleph(0) -- I've asked politely - inasmuch as you leave me no choice save an impolite request: Get your 'hiney' on back here! -- Yes! yes! I know all your excuses (e.g. the 'broken' blog feature, accusations of 'ventriloquism', age/generation 'discrimination', etc... Codswallop! As you well know all social interaction is not without 'friction' of one sort or another! --- You, being a leading authority (I daresay 'exponent') on fusor theory -- we need you -- I need you! - It's time you acted your age!

With genuinely loving intent

HP! Just shut your yap for once in your life and listen to some common sense! You know as well as I that the F'ed blog feature _sank us_ on this site and anyhow, with a few important exceptions, the only ppl who seemed interested were those who we funded all their expenses! So I know what U tried 2 do and it seemed to have merit but fact of the matter is unless you operate your own website you're at mercy of downgrades masquerading as _updates_ and other aggravations that don't deserve to be mentioned here! -- HP I know your problem isn't lack of altruism or alacrity to that end! But I say UR LAZY! If U really want 2 teach radiology and just EHT technique all U have 2 do is just regester your own site and continue on there! Then I'll be back! So like u said Linacs and even _plain vanilla_ Roentography plus PET, MRI (which yes! I KNOW ISN"T USING IONIZING RADIATION!) and proton bombardment and like that aren't hobby but forum of mainly hard-core, non medical engineers are gonna see it that way cuz of all the HV stuff U have to dazzle them with to bring them in!

Anyhow I hope UR feeling better!

PS @joeyd999 and others YES! I'm Using HP's IP, network and her machine! But I'm not her which in words of Edger Poe _is perhaps but one of the great mercies of God_

 

God, I miss this.

 

I don't

That's a total fantasy. You mean to say I was funded? I wanted this to be realized and did contribute many things, but also had a period of not being constructive too. After that got settled my contributions wee reposted. To blame this thread going down hill on a simple forum feature is just ludicrous.

Hey Shortbus! Sorry @Aleph(0) seems to have slighted you! (She's good at that [with many people] but then, as I am certain is the case here, entirely inadvertently)

Inasmuch as Aleph(0) and I have 'hashed this over' ad infinitum (i.e. the failure of the tutorials) I feel I may confidently speak for her on this matter....

Firstly there were, of course, a few genuine (i.e. 'non-financially incentivized' interested parties) - I assure you that you, my friend, were/are, squarely at the top of our list in that regard! - Moreover your contributions and insights were (and remain) greatly valued!

Based upon said discussions with @Aleph(0) (both during the attempted development stage and 'post-failure analysis' -- I am confident that her remarks referred to the general (albeit less than total) lack of interest in the subjects of EHT and imaging/radiotherapy devices/techniques...

To blame this thread going down hill on a simple forum feature is just ludicrous.

But then perhaps you don't fully understand the 'undoing' of our tutorials attending the transition? -- Most of our images, simulations and other resources were posted only to the (previous) blog -- from whence they were linked from posts to the thread - this had several advantages; 'global revision' [of errors, omissions] and lack of redundancy being notable among several others.

When the new blog feature was implemented all of said data was lost -- although @jrap did much to help us out (for which we are very grateful) the new feature 'got in the way at every turn'.

Unfortunately the New blog feature cannot be (readly) 're-loaded' -- In point of fact alterations/uploads to the blog often require moderator approval - which seldom works as it should -- but, in any event, [as with any undue latency] is impractical considering the volume of data involved).

So ok! I own the blame inasmuch as I was aware that the previous blog was a third party application - that I might have reasonably expected to be replaced or radically changed when an (inevitable) update was preformed -- Still there it is...

Indeed while the blog feature change alone may not have had us 'throwing in the towel' -- That, coupled with said 'less than enthusiastic reception', greatly increased demands of 'off-line life' and just plain aggravation proved the 'last straw' as it were...

Please know that we remain highly grateful to you and other genuine participants and followers -- furthermore we sincerely apologies for letting you down...

Most sincerely
HP

@Aleph(0) -- It may behoove you to aquatint yourself with the distinction between 'paraphrase' and 'verbatim' -- but then, perhaps, that's too much to ask of the woman of the crowd, wot?

Ya know @joeyd999 - That doesn't surprise me! -- Anyone capable of imbibing stout --let alone enjoying it-- is bound to be struggling with some significant masochistic tendencies

But thanks for thoughts just the same

It's really, really nice to hear from you again, HP ... I hope that whatever struggles you (both) are going through, in the end are worth your while ...
