Hi Andy
Whether or not you're right (and fwiw I'm sometimes more than mildly surprised at the technical ideas expressed by people with callsigns) I've noticed over the years that in effect calling people stupid doesn't help much with their education.? Not that we're here necessarily to educate people, but to suggest gently that there are I hope in this forum people who are trying their best to learn and perhaps (don't you think so?) quite often nervous to ask questions for fear of being thought (let alone told) that they're thick.
Oh and I agree with you of course - upskilling I reckon is the thing to do, and regardless.
Cheers and 73
