[Land-speed] Dahlgren blather

No, I don't consider that a flame by Dave..... He ALWAYS ridicules ideas in a
condescending and demeaning manor..... It's just part of his charm ;-) . The
problem with computers is there is no sarchasm font, and unless you know
somebody personally, it's easy to take tounge-in-cheek humor for a put-down. I
don't think Dave meant any malice in his comments, but if I am wrong, you can
cut my beer ration at Bonneville for 24 hours next August....... That's about
as severe a penalty that the list can impose!

?Free exchange of ideas? is exactly the point, Ed . . . but somehow you missed
it. Dave?s knowledge and experience is not in question (although I purposely
put the dig in to make a point). Instead he chooses to ridicule ideas in a
condescending and demeaning manner. . . and you don?t consider that a flame!
John said nothing to elicit such a response from Dave. If the physics bothers
Dave then educate us. There are a few people on this list that can out
?physics? or ?EE? all of us. They choose to use their intellect in a positive,
informative manner. Perhaps you consider ridicule an opinion . . . I don?t.

PS: Dave and I are corresponding off-list in a civil manner.

This list is supposed to be a free exchange of ideas...... not a flame-fest.
Dave is entitled to his opinion even if you don't like his command of the
English language.
