Bleh...my computer crashed and I lost the post.
(Joe did you do this to me ? joke eh ?)
And in conclusion .......
Kevin, please read the first two posts in this thread. Lisch asked a question and Joe answered. I called Joe on his waterblock appraisal and he got hot.
My posts have been (generally) on topic and certainly less personally oriented than Joe's.
I enjoy an analytical and technically rigorous discussion because it FORCES one to ask why things perform as they do, and how might they be made to perform differently. (Yes, my background is materials engineering, product development, testing, and marketing.)
Marketing, the art of telling the customer what they want to hear. Here is an unattributed quote, and my response, from the major non-participant to this thread:
"I read the posts, but I think that practical experimentation may dispute the theoretical conclusions, as has happened so many times in our little niche<g>"
"no argument
we have speculation, calculation, and demonstration;
and they are not always the same"
But it takes GOOD testing to be able to distinguish between marketing and performance, a concept that is apparently too taxing for some. Of course one can always select products by popularity.
This is not my website/forum, its Joe's; so I'll cease my unpopular carping in the interest of tranquility.
Over and OUT
be cool
