Two or three noisy dickheads do not define a nation.
Most of us here (there are many!) don't make a point of being identifiable as being Australian, to avoid being treated like those others deserve.
We might have typically low regard for authorities and traditions, but the folk who stand out as dickheads are the ones screaming to be treated as authorities. Strange, isn't it?
"uncivilised" and "uncouth" are value-laden words generally used by those who want to preserve authority or tradition, not truth.
People deserve respect, but no-one who wishes to be a rational thinker can afford to "respect" any idea. Ideas must always be treated with vigorous disdain.
Traditionalists and authoritarians cannot tell the difference between disrespect of their ideas, and disrespect of their persons - they regard both as equally uncouth and uncivilised.
I'm not following the conversation here. What's wrong with being Australia n??? Was that supposed to be some sort of a put down???
I have a lot of respect for a country that saw a problem, decided on a solu tion and as best I can tell has not had a lot of trouble with sticking with it. I'm talking about deciding to restrict guns. Maybe I just don't hear about the problems, but it seems there is not a lot of debate about it at this point.

Well, if there are problems, I'm not hearing about them either
... except that we didn't go even harder and earlier, like NZ
... and there was that business with no branch of government seeming to know whose responsibility it was to stop an affected cruise ship from disgorging hundreds of infected people right into the heart of Sydney with not even a thermometer in sight... but that's a mistake that won't happen again.

Guns could have stopped them. You just needed one good guy with a gun! An d a lot of ammo. Oh yeah, 30 round clips, a lot of them. Bump stocks woul dn't hurt either. Screw it. Just go for the full auto.
All kidding aside, I'm sure Australia has as many problems as anyone else. They just don't get as wigged out about them.
BTW, I loved "Rake". That was one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. J im Jefferies is pretty awesome too. I liked his specials better than his w eekly show. Maybe it has something to do with him moving here to the US.

People seem to like Hugh Jackman, Mel Gibson, Cate Blanchett, Geoffrey Rush, Heath Ledger, Eric Bana, Hugo Weaving, Brian Brown, Joel Edgerton, Sam Worthington, Baz Luhrman or Nicole Kidman either, or many others, all of whom worked and/or lived in the USA and made their names there. We claim Russell Crowe too, though he was born in NZ.
Despite the fact that I joined an electronics group and not a psyhcotherapy / philosophical group I'll offer my last response to poster. People DESERVE courtesy at first interaction, civlity is HOPED for at all times ad respect must be EARNED. When one does not warret these niceities then they forfeit and deserve the repurcussions of their actions. I follow the Golden Rule...Treat others as your would like to be treated" but I will not turn the other cheek when assualted. Truth has nothing to do with either civility or uncouthness. The latter are two states of personalty traits that do not atatch themselves to truth or deceit. The behaviors exhibited here by some can be alligned with "roadrage"...for no good reason verbal assault or insults retorted by request for electronics help. Do i sense a good old boys club here or what? I thought this was a group for extended education.
You are new on this group. There are a number of "contributors" here that routinely verbally abuse people. There is absolutely no way to get them to shut up. The only effective defence is to simply ignore them, filter them out or something. Don't wrestle with pigs: You'll get covered in mud and the pigs like it.
There are fortunately also a few very knowledgeable contributors that make this Usenet group not entirely a waste of time.
On your original request, my take is that if you need help with such basic things, you shouldn't be touching the insides of X-ray machines.
This is a group where people who are interested in electronics go for enter tainment. Sometimes the posters here will use their engineering talent to help other people solve their problem. That is a bonus not an obligation. Presentation , just like in real life, tends to be the key to having a pos t be the object of entertainment or not. Your presentation in the first po st was so poor that it made it natural to turn the thread into a joke

Seriously, you act like you are doing someone out there in never never land a favor by letting them review your (secret drawings) and spend their time to educate you on something you cannot even articulate. All through privat e email.

This forum is not a charity, although sometimes people are charitable.

How could I have ever guessed I would be walking into a site that the regulars suffer f rom locker room syndrome and may occasionally talk of electronics. Don't kn ow how I missed that...my psychic abilities must be off. I'll seek out an older group that exhibits courtesy more so than you younger boys. Your grou p sense of humor and help escapes me.....and who said I wanted charity? I was willing to pay to that person who helped me. Would you talk this way to your mother?!

You should have posted it as an advertisement for a paying job. There are a number of people here who make money from exactly that sort of thing. I know that when I intend to pay someone for something I wave my money around at the very beginning and then I generally do not get any jokes at all.

Huh, let's not all be too self righteous. You had the ALL CAPS post. You do need a bit of a thick skin to survive here. And it's not to everyone's taste. Humor is one thing that doesn't do well online. I think a lot of what is meant as a bit of humor gets taken the wrong way.
There's not much to do... smiley faces on my bit of fun is the best I can do.

who thinks you should describe how your circuit works, and hook it up one (or a few) bits at a time. Do you have a DMM? 'scope? GH
Apart from abrasiveness and petulance, I expect the main reason folks aren' t being very forthcoming is that if medusa gets killed doing this--which ap pears fairly likely--they don't want it to be their fault.
From the pictures it seems to us that you're attempting to create something that you're not trained properly to do. Extra-high voltages and ionizing radiation in X-ray equipment needs extra training and careful understanding of the dangers in it.
It is just proper engineering ethic to not help you to grill yourself or some unsuspecting other person.
