Dear Friendly Razvan
I did not mean anything I wrote as an offence. If it sounded like that, I beg my most sincere apologies. I understand that you are sick and tired of hearing in every second posting in this group some criticism, more or less appropriate.
But you have to understand my feelings too:
I have never felt so unwell switching on and off my qrp rigs. Will it boot, will it smoke, will it do or will it don't?
Most likely I am badly influenced in my feelings by the readings done on this group, many of them due to ignorance, inappropriate handling and set-up. But this is also a proprietary problem of this such a heterogenous group: in it's charming way it has attracted people very much over-challenged from their soldering wits.
I am soo sorry for being both too coward and too risky at the same time. I am coward related to issues I can not controll and I am? too risky in terms I think I can cope with. My reasoning does not meet the requirements needed to understand the do's and dont's of my latest soldering: seems to me that I belong to the over-challenged mentioned above.
I will pack the rig into a brown bag, hide it somewhere in the cellar, take some aspirin and wait for a better mood and the time I will feel more courageous by having understood the feelings of the few (quote: Pink Floyd).
Yours really, really friendly, Razvan dl2arl
