Here is a response that I received from deadlord on my PM. I am reproducing in full, except the editing, where I crossed out his name (for his confidentiality) and put XXXX.
Dear ravisbassi ,
All efforts in answering any question are highly appreciated,it's an honor that a 30 years experienced engineer answers my questions.You cannot go furious on someone asking to learn student or not,it's all learning,excuse me sir and I'm sorry to say,but if u read my reply to Kmmh and knew what I was asking about specifically this wouldn't have happened,and a "classroom" problem is an engineering problem whether it is in the classroom or in real life.We should answer the exact question then go around and explain other things attached to the same subject.
By the way,sir don't you think this great forum serves students a lot more than engineers?
Regards,
XXXXXX
Dear XXX,
We are in complete agreement.
In reverse to your question, I agree it is a great forum. Otherwise why would we waste time over this.
I strongly believe that it is the duty of people who share knowledge. Otherwise it becomes a case of accumulating it in your mind, and then one fine day it is pooof, kick the bucket, meet your maker, or whatever one calls it.
Now, coming to the first part of your message, it was not meant at you. Read my wording carefully. I started the third para with the sentence "This is an apt case." It was only an example. No offense meant, or implied.
What I meant was, that there probably is a need to have a student question type of thread. I do not know. That is why my querry "Some of the recent postings have been obviously from engineers-to-be. Should we have a separate section, under whatever heading we call it, to provide input to them."
Dear XXX - your reply is appreciated and treasured. You do remind me of the halycon days of my own youth.
To all the Folks, I request that we carefully read, absorb, reflect, and then maybe respond.
