Hi Everyone - I'm Back!

And were, as usual, promptly chased away.

MegaHertz for sure.

He's still hijacking posts from other ng's, but not so much lately from s.e.d. He's averaging a post a week, mostly his own, so is still some distance from critical mass

Hi chaps,

My name's Paul Burridge. You may remember me from such great threads as "What's this inductor doin' here" and "What's this capacitor doin' here" and er, that one about the RF signal strength meter.

First of all may I apologise for depriving the group of my wit and wisdom over the previous 18 months. I've been undergoing an intensive advanced electronics course (graduated with honours) and forming the Electronics Experts' Guild - of which I am Life President.

I've returned to discuss highbrow electronics issues with my fellow expert enthusiasts.

So what's been going on since I've been away? I trust the group's been as harmonious and agreeable as ever? Perhaps some kind soul can bring me up to date.

Your pal,

Paul.

You beat me to this one, but thought it should be seen again.

I recall the name, if not any specific threads. Welcome back, Paul.

Looking at recent threads, it appears only the new posters come here looking for actual electronics-related info. It's become a social club/fishing story site for the rest of us: "When I was learning electronics, 1N4001's were a dollar fifty each, and that was in production quantities, not Radio Shack prices..." "Oh Yeah? Well, back when I designed the 1N4000 series..."

It's not just rude words, it's his rude use of them. The worst part is he found rec.audio.pro.

This could be an ad for groups.google.com: "Hi, I'm looking for a Few Good Threads."

Now lemme guess... Fred Bloggs?

That'll be Allison, then if my memory serves me well.

Looks like nothing much new, then. I'll have to redouble my efforts and come up with a suitably stimulating electronic challenge for the engineer folks here. Might stop 'em hurling abuse at each other for 10 minutes at least... ;-)

We archived all the new2020 posts for you. Just tell us where we should send them.

Thanks for your concern. Well, I had a nasty accident with an EHT transformer. But I blame Jim Thompson. He didn't warn me about high voltages. :-)

Welcome back, I recall all those nightmares, and had wondered what had happened.

Ahem!

I resent being called a lady.

Hey, thanks. Here's the address: yellow.dumpster@jiff_lemon.co.mars
