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.
