So long...

Craig Sawyers #161394 Hi all I've been thinking about this for quite a while. But I think after 18 years on Tekscopes it is finally time to sign off. In part it is because I think I have said all there is that I can possibly say on Tekscopes, and in part because I just figured out that I have posted over 4,600 times - an exceptionally depressing number, even more so when it represents 14% of all posts to Tekscopes ever. That is one in every seven posts, heaven help us all, that I reckon to be over 800 hours of typing, not counting the thinking time. So to the many people who are on this list who have helped me to figure out problems in my stable of Tektronix gear - my heartfelt thanks. There have been notable assistance above and beyond the call - as an example, while describing a particular fault in my 7854, one of the list members disconnected the sampling bridge in his own unit to mimic the fault! And yes, my vertical sampling bridge was indeed toast. You have all been an inspiration, and I hope that some of you think of me as a friend. I also hope that over the years I have been able to contribute something to others. Anyhow - cheers all Signing off Craig Sawyers

Albert Otten All Messages By This Member #161407 Thanks for your interesting contributions Craig! Albert [Perhaps I can provoke you to write one more message. The message counter shows about 161,400 messages. Then your 4,600 contributions form "only" 2.3%, not 14%. ;=) ]

bobkrassa All Messages By This Member #161429 Craig, your breadth of knowledge of so many fields, and your willingness to explain your reasoning, have been very helpful to me and made our mutual interest in Tektronix and related areas of physics and engineering more enjoyable. I also have appreciated that you speak in a direct, straight forward way. That has largely gone out of style but used to be the way people who respect each other talk. I will miss your contributions to this forum. Bob Krassa AC?JL

Hugh Vartanian All Messages By This Member #161484 Hi Craig, I'm pretty much a newbie here, on and off for a couple of years, but inspired by guys like you and Dennis to fuss with my test equipment. Anyway, I am going to go out on a limb and take issue with the depressing part of your so-long email. When I chat with friends and acquaintances about teenagers, we always agree that the most important thing is that the person has something they have deep passion and commitment to in their lives. Indeed this applies to us all. In this light I support the idea that your "work" in this community is something to be celebrated, rather than to be depressed about. My two cents, all the best to you. Hugh Vartanian

widgethunter #161580 Nothing is forever, and, I used to enjoy this group more in the past, myself.Though I am no fan of Facebook, I do enjoy our "Old Tekscopes" group, there.The visual interface is a nice alternative and less demanding to interact with, than composing novels in this text based environment.
