There are a few notable examples of forward thinking men. Only a fool
would NOT recognize Cecil as a GLARING example--an older gentleman with
an open mind, exploratory nature, apparently good mechanical, "present
theory", math and other skills. And, look at Roy with his program
EZNEC--a NOTABLE offering! Even Richard with his cryptic, antagonistic
and provoking posts helps spur complex thought and useful responses.

Age doesn't negate a single thing, necessarily ...

You, yourself, have at least suggested a moderate willingness to assist
and welcome newbies, you probably have an affect on others who engage
you--together, as a team, we will work this all out ... much discussion
usually takes place before meaningful advancements are accomplished.

There isn't really anything wrong with "boat-anchor maintainers" and
appliance users--often they offer interesting facts and chat--not all
here needs be dead serious, some can be enjoyed with a glass of wine ...
one can spend an enjoyable hour or two just rag-chewing ... even a
cocktail party is best when "there is someone for everyone."
