Yo,

Ditto, as they say. I started fixing TV's when I was 14, designed my
first transistor radio at 10, ham radio licesnce (general class) at 13.

I got so popular fixing stereos back in the 60's that I had to come up
with a 'private' name because *everybody* with a stereo in Urbanna
Illinois knew my real name and wanted to talk to me personally and the
people I worked for didn't want me interrupted all day.

Hence, I made up the name Luhan Monat which only my friends knew.

I would *love* a real 'techinical only' newsgroup; trouble is, you are
still going to get everybody with very basic questions dropping in.

What about creating an obvious pair of newsgroups? One like,
'electronics forum.beginner' and another called 'electronics
forum.advanced'? Then anyone going into the advanced group with a
simple question could be directed to the other group.

Meantime, I will just keep fishing around in this group and a couple of
others trading advice and such.

Regrards,
Luhan

I have been into electroncis for years. I have never had once infered that I
was a crooked thief?????? You must dwell in strange circles.

Though a newsgroup thats more techno focused would be nice.

Are there any real techs on here that work for a real shop or own one?
It seems like there are mostly hobbiest types on here or consumer types
looking for a quick answer to a complex problem. Stuff like "no picture,
blown fuse, won't come on...ect..." Can we diverse this group into a real
tech group so professionals can help each other? I don't have the time to
teach basic electronics and work professionaly as a TV tech. I would like

to

exchange thoughts, ideas, problems and fixes with other real technicians.

Do

we need to start a new group for this? Most of these consumer or hobbiest
types think we are all crooks, so why bother with them? I've tried to help
them but they don't have even enough basic knowlege of electronics to

enable

any understanding of what I'm talking about. It seems to me that the shop
owner and TV tech is labeled as a thief and a crook by most of these

people.

Well if it were easy, everyone would be able to fix their own TV. So, any
real techs want to rise up out of this group and soar with the eagles?

Let's

help each other so we can help others and erase the bad complex about us

all

being thieves and crooks!
