See, at this stage with the thread getting back on track, I have a lot of ideas and thoughts that I normally would feel free to contribute, but now I'm unwilling to do so at all. That is the real source of any frustration that I feel.
My apologies to all for the extended outbursts, but the whole point of that exchange was to highlight what I feel is the malaise that is besetting many technical forums around the globe. What was once the realm of enthusiasts sharing ideas now becomes a free market research tool for the opportunistic.

This is where such a forum has strong merit. If the forum is such that forum members and enthusiasts can express ideas about what they'd like to see and how they'd like their water-cooling experience to improve, then it's a big help.
The dissemenation of engineering level research and development data is sadly very unlikely to happen, which is sad for the avid enthusiasts who truly want to
understand what it is that goes into building a better radiator for their needs.
