The first rule of plonking is You Do Not Talk About Plonking. If you just ignore them, they don't know any better. They just think nobody had anything to say in response. If you stand there with your fingers in your ears singing "La La La Laaaa We Can't Hear You....." so they know what they are saying is getting to you, they will just get closer and scream louder. They crave negative feedback just as much as (if not more than) positive feedback. The persistent and halfway smart ones will figure out nym-shifting on their own, and then you have to filter a hundred names instead of one. Don't tell the others that they need to start and how to do it. -- Bruce -- |

Anyone with enough between the ears not to pick up a soldering iron by the wrong end *TWICE* would have already stopped whinging, bought a new set of transistors, formed the legs and fitted them to a small strip of perfboard to avoid stressing the encapsulation seal and run flexible wire to the existing pads on the PCB or re-engineered the heatsink to add a couple of support brackets to the board. Heck, if there is no clearance topside, the flex link can be done by reaming out the pad holes a tad and fitting 1/2" of braid track side! I'd expect pictures of the successful modification in the drop box by now from anyone who knows enough to ID the problem. I rarely *plonk* but this one is teetering on the rim. -- Ian Malcolm.

LOL Gunner "I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer." -- Benjamin Franklin, /The Encouragement of Idleness/, 1766 |
