Bit odd you bring this up now when I just got through posting in a thread about 2 sided boards, and that went into some other things. My experience, someone else about car radios using the same manufacturing methods and all, one with their own stereo unit the fixed by fixing a 2 sided board.
Now there's some thread drift forya, but it is still pertinent to the subject. Of course WW2 is not. I have a group and I was thinking what I would do. I would probably get in there and say "this one can slide, but anymore of this political shit and we are talking action, I do not want it here". And that it makes enemies easier than it makes friends.
But now there is the Fluke 3300 thread. That is not a Tek scope. I have no problem with it, I think maybe they could have been spurred on to my group but there are not enough members now to be sure to get anything good back. If that is close enough to on topic fine. Good that you don't want to stifle.
I think the thing here is that in moderating these, you can't just grind a line into concrete. That's why we have human moderators. (and judges and whatever)
You could send some to my group, which I made specifically for other test equipment. But I don't want anyone forced. I don't want to force anyone to do anything. Not the WW2 thing though.
Put it this way, I may respond in threads that go political, but I will never start one. I have more respect than that.
