Can someone who left their brain outside on too many sub zero nights still function well enough to design electronics, or are they doomed to drool and post nonsense till they die?

You'd be surprised how many *are*! ;-) But, then again, maybe I'm biased (*being* "American" :> )
Even a lunatic can tell when the sun is shining. :>
I.e., an observation can be valid or interesting even if the observer "isn't" -- or, may not be capable of following up in a cogent fashion. Have you never learned anything from a "child"? Seen something from a different point of view? Regardless of whether or not that child could further expound upon their initial observation...
The trick is to not get sucked into arguments/discussions from which no further insights may be possible. That doesn't mean that a conversation started can't hope to draw insightful comments from *others*.
E.g., when you post, you aren't "just" talking to the individual to whom your reply is "addressed" but, rather, to others who may be reading over your shoulder. I often reply to posts where I have no expectation of convincing the author of my point of view but, instead, hope others may at least be provoked to *think* about my comments (even if they don't reply to the thread in question).
I.e., actions can be undertaken for their side-effects!
There are a few others on other newsgroups just like 'D'. They start mindless threads just to cause problems, or to show everyone just how stupid they are.
