Again I have made an offer to Wayne, see if he takes it.
He said he might have sent me some originally if he hadn't have seen the personal attacks on the forum, so thanks everyone who did that.
Can't say I blame Wayne. Some of the crap that was dumped on him was personal and derived completely from speculation.
He seems to me to be a knockabout bloke who has demonstrated his ability to make good in whatever vocation he puts his hand to - and being open-minded, sought to give Batteroo a chance. While he may not understand the maths and physics, nor have an EE based approach to testing - he does have a functional understanding and
is trying to do exactly the same thing as Dave wants to do - CHECK THE BLOODY THINGS OUT!He may not be able to generate pretty charts or extensive tables - but he will be able to get a pretty good idea on one very simple, grass roots fundamental: Will it be good enough to sell and survive in the marketplace?
The average punter is NOT going to give a damn about all the academic crap - they are just going to want to know if it's going to work for them. In that respect, Wayne is a long way ahead of some of the opinion I have seen expressed here.
Branding him a stooge for Bob was not fair - and as far as questioning his 'stop off' at Batteroo HQ on the way to that concert. Hell -
I would have gone to a concert like that if I'd had the time and money! Stopping off at Batteroo was just being sensible.
Wayne, I would like to encourage you to reconsider sending a sleeve or two to Dave. Yes, he runs the forum where some crap has been dumped on you - but it was not from him.
Please understand, this is a global forum, with a wide range of members with an extremely wide range of personalities. If you think you're Civil and Mechanical Engineer friends seem weird at times - when their subject matter is pretty visilbe - then just think what Electrical Engineers could be like, since just about all of their subject matter is invisible and much of it starts getting into quantum physics.
Leave Wayne alone and let the poor bugger do his testing.
