xray, Legris, and Riddle have been on my no-retrieve-list for years,
so I'm just now seeing this diatribe.

WHEN have these birds EVER posted a circuit or solution?

I'm disappointed in you, Steve :-(

Being politically correct, following the messiah blindly, DOES NOT
MAKE YOU A GOOD CIRCUIT DESIGNER.

True, but I have yet to find a circumstance when politicial posts
have improved my design skills.

I will say no more on this topic.

You would restrict my freedom of speech?

Aren't my circuit responses dead-on accurate? (Except for an
occasional typo ?:)

I'll stick strictly to circuits IF EVERYONE ELSE WILL ALSO DO SO. Of
course SED will then die, because there's rarely anything electronic
actually ever posted, and at that, they're so juvenile they should
have been posted in sci.electronics.basics


Sometimes I think we need a newsgroup to
point some people to.

I notice these whiners never mention Dimbulb, Sloman or EEyore.

Of course not. The dweebs need their messiahs to look up to... the
super dweebs need Win Hill ;-)

...Jim Thompson


Why don't you and Terrell get a room?

We don't need to see you licking each others' balls in the technical
groups.

Yeah, Jim. Archimedes' Liar is getting jealous.

.... and yet another thread degenerates into 3rd graders sticking their
tongues out at each other. I have killfiled everybody who seems to be
incapable of carrying on an adult conversation but the SNR on s.e.d
still seems lower than in many other newsgroups. A shame...

But they're all getting a bit long in the tooth. So if you could
commission the ideal one-volume electronics text, what would it look like?


Einstein said that 'we should not commit to memory anything that we can
look up in a book or table, as it clutters the mind.'

So keep them all in electronic, searchable format and stop crying about
the length of the tooth.

Late at night, by candle light, Dirk Bruere at NeoPax
A real academic crime wave.
However, I suppose it might be tempting for a poverty stricken student,
but reading scanned pages on a computer is crap. I don't know about the
other books, but the AoE in PDF is worse than photocopies.

It's out of print, and the second hand market doesn't generate revenue
for the author. So there's no loss if it's digitized and distributed.

Elektor/Elektuur still exists. They publish just as many crap circuits
as you can find on the internet. The basic rule is: if you don't
understand how a circuit works don't build it! Otherwise you'll get
burned sooner or later.

Once again you have missed the point. In this current world the experimenters should
build it and get burned, as experimenters. If a professional presented
such a circuit as their design without thinking they deserve the results
that they will most likely get.

To help clarify, the hobbyist magazines should present circuits that work
adequately, but easily can be improved. The idea is to encourage experimentation,
and some resultant discovery.

Discovering stuff for yourself is a powerful and seductive mental process.

You mean Click 'n' Clack", http://www.cartalk.com/ ??

They're MIT grads also. My daughter, the water chemist, is one of
their best fans ;-)


Tom and Ray Magliozzi. They did voices in the "Cars" movie, too.
