Apparently you don't see it as much of it as some of the rest of us do.

But as engineer, I would rather know the reality and what's behind it.

It's probably fair to say that's what motivates most of us, Yuri.
It's the one thing most of us here share in common, other than ham radio.

Just as an example: W8JI proclaims gospel on his web site that Beverage
antennas longer than 700 ft (on 160) are useless and waste of effort.

I am not Tom, and you are not Tom. Neither of us speaks for Tom. Tom
doesn't even have a dog in this fight as far as I know. So in the
interest of maximizing the signal to noise ratio around here, why
don't we each let the other just speak for himself. It's much too
gossipy otherwise (and not very 'engineer-like').
