deludedaudiophile"Now I will ask kindly that you stop the drive by insults that are humorous, but also annoying and distracting to the thread."
I think what has happened here is that I have what Americans call "hurt your feelings" but you need to learn, accept, and understand that "feelings" are not really the issue here if you want to converse in the language of science we use data, facts, and statistics to support a position a simple "that's not true" or "I know better" or "it's not supported" is not a proper, effective, meaningful or convincing response.
I suggest, recommend, and encourage you to continue your Merit Badges and education and as I may have previously mentioned an internship might also be helpful to you.
