Cec and others, what's the point in dragging in opinions of people nobody

Reg, everyone except you has heard of John D. Kraus, W8JK. My personal
library would be extremely incomplete without his book(s).

If anything needs to be said, would it not be better to say it just on one's
own authority and be done with it. Otherwise it falls into the category of
"name dropping".


In physics and engineering circles, it's called providing a reference.
Without a reference, it is just a personal opinion, unless one can
prove otherwise. With a proper reference, it is generally accepted as
fact, unless one can prove otherwise. Check out all the references
at the end of any technical article.
