Oh for Christ's sake, who are you to "hold anyone" to anything? Most of
us have to put up with teachers, bosses, wives, etc., who are in the
routine habit of "holding us" to one standard or another. When we
interact as equals we expect to escape such stuff.

Unless you get elected head of this newsgroup, I suggest you confine
your standard setting to your kids, your dog, or, if there are any such
truly unlucky persons, your employees.

Way back when this thread was living, Ed apologized if anyone misunderstood
his tongue in cheek comments. If this was a group that was limited to PhD's
of EE who had all been Chief Broadcast Engineers at major facilities, then
the members could all pretend to be equal (which of course they still
wouldn't be). But this newsgroup is not that, and neither does its name
imply the lowest level of competence in the field. If you have such a
problem with standards, perhaps your moniker Flannery O'Conner has not been
a good teacher, as you have missed one of the defining marks of a man; to
have high standards. Without them, whatever happens is fine, and a wicked
place that will be, besides the dumbing down that results from whining about
achievement being more highly valued than mere existence.
