Freecell i am genuinely surprised at your audacity.
the entire reason i went searching for answers on the net was because i could not get you to explain your post to me.
now you come here and actually laugh at my attempts to find an explanation myself?
i did the best i could with what i was given. the "key words" i used in my searches were straight from your reply to my thread.
Let me see if i understand your intentions correctly as they relate to your behavior.
i ask a question about something which clearly implies that i dont already possess the knowledge that i require to accomplish my goal.
you answer my question by stating a principle relating to my situation.
i ask you for some clarification as to the application of this principle to my specific situation, because it sounds to me like you might have some insight on the subject that others may not.
you restate the same principle leaving me to my own devices to investigate the application of the principle.
All this would be fine if your intentions were to "elmer" me with a sort of "teach a man to fish" kind of attitude, and i actually thought thats what you intended to accomplish by your repetition of the same principle.
now, you behave completely contradictory to what your intentions seemed to be by condescending to me, and laughing at my attempts to to learn on my own.
Shame on you sir.
if your intention is merely to chastise my search for knowledge then please do me the courtesy of declining to respond to my posts and threads.
i do feel a bit stupid, but thats because i thought for a minute that you were actually trying to help me learn.
lesson learned.
and just FYI, the thread i was referencing in my previous post did indeed have to do with ground loops, and the entire point of contention was about why its not ok to ground your ham rig's ground wire right to the negative terminal of the battery in your vehicle.
i no longer care what your opinion of this matter is.
