Yep agree, just need to allow simpler answers to some topics to get other involved and hopefully understand more of what is happening.

Hi Doug

I like the science forum, including all its diversity... and yes, I am behaving within acceptable parameters (i think!).

Cheers Petra d.

I like the science forum. Everyone is always very willing to help answer my questions and check my fail equations And I am very appreciative of that

But I think people need to be reminded from time to time that this is just a forum for discussion on science and also, they need to remember why they started talking about a topic in the first place. Because they are passionate about the subject and have a yearning to learn and know

I object! To all this casting aspersions on my behaviour!

Please lock this thread as I just cannot stand this sort of character assassination.

I am just a simple soul that needs this sort of assertion to show the bullies who is really boss!
