He wasn't the last antenna expert to leave the insults from this

Ever consider what motivates the real experts to spend their time
answering questions? I'm certainly no expert, but I do try to answer
what little I can. For me it's learning something new and a karma
boost in helping others learn and understand. Passing on my
experiences and knowledge and all that.

Now, contrast that with the signal to noise ratio of this group. There
isn't any question or discussion that doesn't get derailed into
politics, philosophy, and some really off the wall physics. The
dedicated experts will try to untangle the mess, and inject some
reality into the discussion, with little results. All the time and
effort spent in honestly answering on topic questions gets lost and
wasted in the apparently endless and useless pseudo science
discussions, none of which have any obvious applications to antennas.
Little wonder the experts get tired of wasting their time, and go
elsewhere.

I have some ideas on how to solve the problem, but since I'm sometimes
part of the problem, I'll leave my foot in my mouth where it belongs.
I suggest you also reflect on whether you're part of the solution or
part of the problem.
