Message most of the time but this is outright childish. This is reminiscent of when my 12 and 14 year old boys act this way.

Mike, when I met you last year - one of the things I told you was to have a thick skin and be prepared to make a solid case of your designs to the skeptical members of the forum. Take in the feedback, study it to see if it's a valid concern. If it is, make a design change. If it isn't, then refute the claim - but you need to show your math. If you are successful at doing that, then you have nothing to worry about.

You've got to get rid of that chunk of wood sitting on your shoulder.

I've said something similar to Ash Powers over several occasions and my advice to you is the same. You could have the best widget for the Z32 that is an incredible innovation. But that alone will not bring people in to buy the product; an abrasive personality (or forum presence) will greatly overshadow any merits of the product you've designed.

I'm basing these comments on my observations over a period of time - not just this latest instance. I've seen the mechanics of some very valuable engineering discussions on this forum that quickly devloved into a mud-slinging fest. Stay on the topic and I think you'll come away with some useful information.

Good luck,

Dave



Shortly after his promotion to general
of the Confederate army, Cletus made a grave
miscalculation...thus handing victory over to
the Union army and ending the Civil War.
