What is it about calculus that you do not understand?

=============================
Cec, and to whom it may concern,

Probably most of it.

Here in Euro-side an amateur radio ticket can be obtained without ever
having heard of it. And what with present educational standards that's
nearly all of us.

The trouble with Guru's displaying their knowledge on this newsgroup is
failure to appreciate the technical standing of their 'pupils'. Yet as often
as not the manner in which questions are asked are a dead giveaway. For a
reply to be of value it is necessary for the Guru to 'tune in' to the
recipient, ie., become resonant in same sort of language.

Too seldom is any thought given to it. As a result I would guess many
questioners become so confused or overloaded with haggling between the
'experts' they don't bother reading to the end of the thread, possibly to
consider packing up the hobby. It is impossible for a novice in a particular
subject to distinguish wheat from chaff, or to choose between one old-wive's
tale and another. Confusion reigns!

So KISS ! In plain unabbreviated English.

To refer to Terman et al to somebody who has probably never heard of any of
'em is no better than uninvited spam and indicates a lack of self
confidence.

But who am I to lay down the Law? Tonight's plonk is Claret. Vive La
France! Hic!
