The opinion that people who have vast knowledge on this topic don’t post due to most of the people here just are in it for fun is a bit misguided I think.

thats not what I'm saying Joe, or at least thats not what I meant
my 'point' was rather that it can be difficult to converse when the same words have different meanings to different audiences
by virtue of training, engineers for example develop a vocabulary in their particular specialty of words with VERY specific meanings;
these meanings often are not quite the same as 'common usage'
- so discourse can quickly bog down in what many will then decry as 'semantics' and reject - without ever having understood what the real issue even was about
-- one's thoughts can be no more precise than the ability to describe them (for we all think with ‘words’)
sometimes its just not worth the hassle
not meant so negatively Joe (as you and I see our interest rather similarly),
just observing that there are impediments to posting
indeed bigdawginva made the same observation from the opposite pole
