Oh for Christ's sake, who are you to "hold anyone" to anything? Most of
us have to put up with teachers, bosses, wives, etc., who are in the
routine habit of "holding us" to one standard or another. When we
interact as equals we expect to escape such stuff.

Unless you get elected head of this newsgroup, I suggest you confine
your standard setting to your kids, your dog, or, if there are any such
truly unlucky persons, your employees.

Whoa Lenny, this is so old you must have been buried really deep! (In what,
I have no idea.)

Maybe I'm using too many big words for you, but I doubt it. You really seem
to have a problem with social interaction, but this group isn't the proper
forum to resolve those issues. However, I'll recap the situation, and maybe
you might be able to sort out your feelings along the way.

The thread had been talking about understanding RF propagation and the
concept of interference. Now, if you brought that subject up to 100 random
people on the street, would you expect them all to be "equals"? If that same
question were posed in an "antennas" group, would you have an expectation
that these people would be slightly more informed about the subject? How
about if you posed that question to a group of hams (people who have
voluntarily sought out a technical hobby and who have even passed
examinations on the technical content of that endeavor)?

It should be clear that, while it's nice to be courteous, we are not all
equals. BTW, my dog doesn't think you're her equal either, although she does
concede to recognize you to the extent that she has blocked your address on
her email account. Hey, what can I say, the dog has high standards.

I'm sorry to hear about all the people you have to "put up with." But as
Sgt. Stryker once said, "Life is tough; it's even tougher when you're
stupid."
