Careful there, Strap. You wanna get nominated for an IGGY?
Bob Swinney "Larry Jaques" wrote in message news On Sun, 11 Sep 2005 18:41:04 -0400, the blithe spirit Ned Simmons clearly indicated: Oh Gawd, how embarassing. How's about we just pretend this never happened. No apology necessary, the explanation was more than sufficient. Just FTW, I read Bob's message as if it were aimed at you, too, Ned. I'm glad you two kissed and made up, though. wink -- Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. --------------- www.diversify.com -- Smart Website Design |

Readers were merely invited to consider the possibility and form their own opinions. The subject line even ends in a question mark. I later acknowledged that concensus of responding posts was that it was not a troll. The label "unworthy" is yours. I did not use that term. I did suggest that I thought it lazy to ask what a datasheet says rather than read the one he said he had but hadn't read. I later acknowledged that my reaction is my problem. I even encouraged continued participation in Ig's project by any and all who might enjoy doing so. |

If I go ahead with this project, I will write to its author. There ya go! I missed on first scan of that site that he uses a buzzbox as a welding power source. It looks like this guy's design goal is the same as yours. Good luck! No sarcasm, I really mean that. Let us know how it works if/when you get it up and running. |

A fellow endowed with such gifts could be ugly as sin and never want for a date. Yeah, well, unless his legs come out his neck or something.. |

In article , Ned Simmons
says... I'm pretty sure it was Norman Yarvin. But I also found a copy cheap on ebay and am keeping it close at hand for the next time entropy rears it's head. Now how about a book that explains the behavior of tires? g LOL. Thermodynamics is science. Tires are *art*. You won't find a book like that about tires. :^) Jim -- ================================================== please reply to: JRR(zero) at pkmfgvm4 (dot) vnet (dot) ibm (dot) com ================================================== |

Simmons quickly quoth: In article , says... Subject: Is Ignoramus a troll? From: Don Foreman Newsgroups: rec.crafts.metalworking On Sat, 10 Sep 2005 02:12:52 -0500, Don Foreman wrote: Decide for yourself, y'all. OK, I'm simmered down. Opinions noted, some good points made. LOL at Ned Simmons' post. Right on, Ned! I recall that thread. Guess what EE bought a copy of Fermi's book on thermodynamics -- and is still reading it a bit at a time? That book was really a find, thanks to whomever suggested it. (Ned?) I'm pretty sure it was Norman Yarvin. But I also found a copy cheap on ebay and am keeping it close at hand for the next time entropy rears it's head. Entropy? Go strip down, stand in front of a mirror, and give yourself a few strokes. Memorize that picture, then recall one of yourself doing the same thing at age 17. THAT, dear boy, is entropy. It's often accompanied by severe melancholy. Now how about a book that explains the behavior of tires? g "The Secret Life of a Bandag", perhaps? Or Conceptual Zen Biking on http://www.kenkifer.com/bikepages/humor/air.htm , maybe?

I later acknowledged that concensus of responding posts was that it was not a troll. Fair enough. The label "unworthy" is yours. I did not use that term. Please notice that I didn't put that word, or any of it, in quotes. It was pretty clear that that's my interpretation of the message, from whoever wrote it (apparently you). I did suggest that I thought it lazy to ask what a datasheet says rather than read the one he said he had but hadn't read. Apparently "lazy" and "unworty" aren't equivalent in this context for you.

Decide for yourself, y'all. I'm about as gullible as they come, but the last go-round on the "Can I use a stock SIGNAL GENERATOR to drive an H bridge" has convinced me that it and perhaps other posts from Ignoramus have been trolls. I don't think he was trolling. From time to time, I have to fix 60 KW induction heat treaters that have IGBT's in them. I'm not sure how he is going to deal with things like a stuck electrode and such.

I'm about as gullible as they come, but the last go-round on the "Can I use a stock SIGNAL GENERATOR to drive an H bridge" has convinced me that it and perhaps other posts from Ignoramus have been trolls. It appears that willingness and eagerness to help must now be tempered with a degree of skepticism on this n.g. I'm sorry to see that. I've been here since Altovoz days. I have a pretty high tolerance for bull****, as long as there are a few I can learn from and a few I might occasionally help. I have several good friends I found on this n.g. and several more casual friends that I enjoy corresponding with from time to time. At least two of those good friends have abandoned RCM as no longer worth the time to read. I'm glad I got to know them when I did, and we continue to correspond frequently about matters of mutual interest. I have no problem mostly ignoring the political stuff. It's usually easy to recognize from the subject line. It's no more appropriate in this forum than dog**** is on a residential sidewalk -- but it happens, and it's easy enough to avoid. I suppose I should only be ****ed at me, because I was dumb enough to get trolled. Whatever. I'm ****ed and disappointed. Things used to be better on rcm. I'll get over it, and I'll probably still be around now and then. Personally, I know little about electronics, and virtually nothing about semiconductors. The questions I saw out of him in the H-Bridge thread didn't seem too absurd from my POV, so I think it's possible he's legitimate. I even read that datasheet* and a good chunk of it goes over my head to varying degrees. At some parts I'd be inclined to ask, "So, what does this actually mean in English?" In any extent, his threads to have a tendency to promote long and detailed discussions, which I think would be the opposite of what a troll aims for: a fight. So, no, I don't believe he's a troll. (*) http://www.irf.com/technical-info/appnotes/an-978.pdf BTW, as long as I'm here among some electronics experts, what is a suggested starting place for someone interesting in learning about electronics? I have (just by chance; got it for free) "The Art of Electronics," which I'm just starting to read and right now all I'm looking to do is put together an ungodly bright white LED light. -- B.B. --I am not a goat! thegoat4 at airmail dot net movies.crooksandliars.com/Countdown-Timeline-Katrina.mov |
