This is pretty much my train of thought on the subject as well. Look at all the info that is horse traded back and forth in such a thread. Even some of the experienced guys might learn a new tidbit here and there. If we cut every semi-related subject out there will end up being very little traffic and an extinct group before long.--EricSent from my Galaxy

Whileit's true that it's perhaps redundant - in terms of the raw theory ofinformation - to rehash this question, it has significant value in morehuman, social terms.IMHO some of the most rewarding threads on this forum start with "I boughtthis very cool, curious thing. Is it broken, how do I point it?", followedby some edumacation from "those who know".If the only topics we ever discuss in this forum are the nitty-gritty ofthe most esoteric Tek test equipment issues, and if anyone asking a n00bquestion is immediately burned to a nub, then ultimately this group willweed down to only those people who have the wherewithal to not as n00bquestions. IMHO that'd be a net loss to the community of test gear nerdsand this forum - the bug is really easy to catch, but equally easy to"cure".Also, nobody in this day and age cares about "bandwidth" for an emailthread, and if YOU don't care for the question or the subject, then mutethe thread. We have technology well beyond the 80s that will do it in asingle keystroke, learn it!
