Hi, Dude!
It's funny! Here I post some info about a cable, and its characteristics, that I had a lot of excellent results with, and which I installed on my Lancair. I thought that this forum was for the exchange of information. I expected some replies such as: "Yeah, that cable has some good low-loss characteristics, but after checking the prices on the mfg's. site, I decided that the performance I'm getting with the cable I presently use is good enough for me." OK, that's reasonable! Or: "I'm building this hot Lancair IVP and I want the best cable I can get; money is no object! Thanks for the tip" OK, that's reasonable too! But do I get a discussion on the relative merits of this cable and others? No, I get a bunch of sharks and their sycophants who want to prove to each other just how smart they are and how they can take down this new guy."Who does he think he is, anyway?" I've met this type over and over in the Aerospace world. Those who can't get up a decent technical discussion and then hide their ignorance behind insults. Too bad that they don't see that when others see this type of diatribe over some little innocent posting, that they're afraid of posting something themselves and incurring this type of wrath. What a stifler of open discussion! The political world is full of this kind; look at the last election. I expected that on a homebuilder's site, at least, that that kind of thing would be dispensed with so that a dialogue of builder-helping-builder would prevail! Silly me! I guess even in homebuilding small egos prevail. Too bad there are not more like Corky Scott and the ones who contacted me about the ELIPPSE prop, looking for more performance. They weren't taken-in by these egomaniacal types who can't stand it if someone doesn't kiss their boots and acknowledge them as the pre-eminent authorities on everything! But as for me, as I get information that I think others may want to know, I will post it on the forum and ignore the sharks. |
