Joe,
Good points. I suspect virtually everyone who frequents this list has been a volunteer at one time or another. We rarely get our panties in a wad and quit volunteering because someone complains. Rather we generally listen to the complaint and ponder whether the complaint is valid and, if so, how we can improve our volunteer work so as to create a satisfied customer (beggar). Doing volunteer work should not mean that you can only have my volunteer information if you jump through my hoops in order to get it.
I am as grateful as anyone for the information obtained from this list. I've learned a lot about building and maintaining aircraft electrical systems. Much of it is information that would have been difficult to get any other way. Learning about aeroelectricity required hours of study, hours spent on this list, and hours of practice. It was time well spent. I sincerely appreciate what Bob and others have voluntarily done to assist.
Sometimes the question does need to be rephrased. It seems that more often the question needs more supporting information or qualifying information in order to be answered. That is true of the recent question regarding fusable links. Once the questioner better explained his situation, his question was clarified to the point that even I could understand.
Often it is convenient to anomyously send comments to the list thinking that nobody is reading it. In fact, there are hundreds of people reading this list. However, nothing said here would be unsuitable for in-person conversation.
I have long been, and still am, of the opinion that getting an answer to a question posed to the list is painfully frustrating.
In all of this, I mean no disrespect to any of the list volunteers who donate their time to educate, inform and assist those of us who are less capable. Indeed, I appreciate their efforts.
Regards,
Stan Sutterfield

AeroElectric List where replies are posted by volunteers. If I
volunteered to help someone who then complained about my work, I would
stop giving help. There is one very knowledgeable volunteer on the
AeroElectric list who sometimes gives long winded and philosophical
responses. Sometimes his response answers my question and sometimes
not. Regardless, I appreciate it that he has volunteered his precious
time to address my issue. There are many other participants on this
forum who are also very knowledgeable. Some of them might not post a
response to a question because they are afraid of getting flamed. So
please treat everyone with respect. Do not post something that you
would not say face to face. As for a question not being answered, maybe
the question needs to be rephrased or needs to be more specific.
