There was a time here at FR when there were a lot of bright, intelligent, highly educated and very knowledgeable people posting here – working scientists, engineers, etc. and where have they gone?
NELSON111 is not stupid and has a lot to bring to these treads due to his knowledge, experience and expertise on this topic. But sadly FR has become more of a place where arm chair “experts”, amateur” and the “hey, watch me while holds ma beer” types have taken over, shouting down people with actual expertice.
There was a time when we could have intelligent and rational discussions with each other even if we disagreed. Those days seem a distant memory.
I've been here since '98....and as I have said NUMEROUS times on this board: I bemoan the fact one cannot have a rational debate on FR. People will either flood your thread with sarcasm...or talk about stuff they think they know...but don't.
It's not the FR it used to be
Class of '98.
That was a couple of purges ago... And yes, FR was a lot better then. The depth and breadth of expertise made FR the only place to be when anything important was happening. Those days aren't coming back I'm afraid.

What an elitist post.
Would you like a CV required to attain posting privileges here?
