Hmm, I see I left some room for that to be taken the wrong way. When I
said, "Eventually I feel compelled to return to the workbench, where I spend
a lot of time and money answering questions that could, frankly, be better
resolved for free in a library," I was referring to MY OWN questions, not
anyone else's.
Meaning, if I had any sense, I'd spend a couple of years in an EE classroom
rather than wandering the empirical path of Paracelsus, Ramanujan, and that
nutcase down the street with the tinfoil on his windows. :)

Heh... I tend to go for a couple of years at a time without doing much
electronics work at all, selling all my gear on eBay and going
back to the
real world to rebuild my finances. Eventually I feel compelled
to return to
the workbench, where I spend a lot of time and money answering questions
that could, frankly, be better resolved for free in a library.
I don't recommend this approach to others, especially those
with families
and other real-world responsibilities. :)
