Are you related to the John Larkin who was one of the actors that played Buck Rogers? :)

Take a look at my web site. At, say, the digital delay generators, or maybe the VME resistance simulator. Or something easier. Tell us how you'd design it.

Did you ever get that startup powerup supply thing to work? Did your third try work? Or your fourth? Or did you give up?

And give you rev A for free? Why bother? You're so sure that you're the be all and end all of everything, and that NIH would be publicly rejected out of hand, even if superior, would result in a pointless harangue while being privately incorporated into your stuff. You're a cheater, John. You always have been and it seems you always will be.

You and Sloman and Thompson pull the same transparent dodge. You declare something to be trivial, and when you're challenged to suggest how you would do it yourself, you announce that it's too boring, or that I'd steal your brilliant ideas.

And, no doubt you would, but it's not quite like that. Since you won't divulge your paltry secrets and subject them to criticism, all we can do is assume that you're not what you represent yourself to be.

It would then follow that the stuff on my web site doesn't work and doesn't sell. Except they do.

Representing yourself as _not_ being an asshole has very little to do with whether your stuff works or not.

Plenty, but what we're talking about is your being wrong and being beat up by not admitting it..

That's 'Buck Rogers in the 25th Century'. Mel Blanc was the voice of Twiki.

This ng is about electronic design. You old hens avoid electronics so you can cluck and my-o-my about personalities. How can you stand to be such wusses?

Idiot. I design electronics that matters. You don't.

You should. You'd feel better, maybe even feel useful.

I've probably presented at least a hundred time more technical content here than you have, so if anyone abuses this newsgroup, it's certainly you, what with your neverending harangues, bragging about you and yours, and flaming everyone who disagrees with you. The real reason you don't like discussions about _your_ personality disorders is because when they're presented in the proper light you momentarily lose your blinders and are forced to face the fact that you're a sick little freak.

I've posted links to PDFs of actual schematics of actual products. UNENCRYPTED!

How about that powerup startup thing? Did you ever come up with something that works? The first two that you posted didn't work.

I design tens of PCBs per year, and speculate about a lot more. Of course I'm wrong now and then. But the boards that get laid out and manufactured aren't wrong, bacause we chack tham carefully. I haven't had an unshippable first-etch PCB in years. I don't check ng posts carefully, because it's just a discussion group. The consequances of making a mistake here is zero. The advantage of speculation is that it's possible to learn stuff.

What are you working on lately?

Which isn't what the discussion is about, so even though it's commendable that you're careful in your work environment, it's irrelevant. What we're talking about isn't so much the errors that you make here, it's the extraordinary lengths you go to keep from having to admit to them. The example which is - and will probably be forever foremost in my mind - was your claim that latching relays have infinite gain and, when you were shown, incontrovertibly, over and over again that that was impossible, danced around - it seems like for weeks - unsuccessfully trying to extricate yourself from your fox paws. A more recent example was your declaration that photons are massless, a position which you wisely abandoned by deciding to STFU.
