True. You do chance on the occasional technical insight, so we do keep reading your posts.

That's quite a difference. I'd even be flattered if I though that you had a better grasp of what might constitute "technical sense".

There's that "we" again bill. It should be "I". Please see a mental health professional as soon as possible.

It would be if I were talking about my own reactions as opposed to the collective reactions of the people who bother to respond to your posts.

If you were a mental health professional, that might be advice worth taking - though they wouldn't give that sort of advice without a face-to-face meeting with the patient they were advising. As it is, it is just a rather inept insult.

It is true that I'm not a mental health professional but I do know enough to know that trying to get a mentally ill individual to see that they are mentally ill is a waste of time. So please make that appointment as soon as you can.

It's even more difficult to get somebody who isn't mentally ill to do it. I do have a life outside sci.electronics.design and I do have friends who would sort me out if I did show signs of mental instability. Your diagnostic skills do seem to be on par with your electronic design skills.

The medical professionals I do hang out with aren't mental health specialists, but at least they have had more training in the area than you have. I'll wait until one of them starts giving me advice.

Taking advice on mental health from a random nutcase posting on a user group would strike me as clear evidence of lunacy.

Nothing further can be done without an appointment.

We know you are thick as brick.

If that means that Edward Rawde will stop pestering me with his ridiculous delusions, it is welcome news. If he were silly enough to expect me to take him seriously, he may be disappointed, but I don't think that he is quite that silly.

Actually the charm of super-beta transistors was that the base current went up a lot less with temperature than JFET leakage currents - it actually decreases slightly.

That's why some other poster here was used to find them in oil drill holes. Above 100°C the JFET is 2nd winner.

I'd recommend "Poisonous People" by Leanne ten Brinke, but like all such books it is a set of words which can be interpreted differently by different people.

It doesn't seem to have given you any insight into your own behavior.

Your response was entirely predictable but no-one cares.

So why didn't you predict it?

In my online experience of more than 30 years, any individual who thought that they were being "pestered" would simply block or ignore the other individual.

I find it hilarious that you are unable to do that.

Sane people would not bother responding to this post.

Please, please children, behave!
