Agree completely, if people dont let the "mad" sounding ideas develop how can we know if it isnt actually very clever.Giblet wrote:I am still taken back that some users on this technical site, were so sick of hearing about us talking and speculating about something technical, felt the need to complain, trying to stifle one of the best technical discussions that has been on this site in ages. We were on the cusp of figuring out in detail how it works, with a simple process of observing and discussing. Most of the more technical/intelligence inclined users were not nay-saying because they were sick of the word snorkel.
even if it was a left field idea, it was a great discussion other than a bunch of bran new users yelling "COOLING COOLING!!!!"
This isn't about told you so, it's about letting people have discussions without complaining about sore eyes. If you are not into it, don't bitch, move on.
Fine it's in a new thread, no problem, fair enough. I hope some people are seasoning and slow roasting their hats for a good dinner tonight, followed by a serving of pie with humble berries.
Now that is has come and gone, and there are details to be sorted, it's coming together. This site lists high up in google searches, and this discussion attracted a swath of new users, strengthening the site more.
Thanks to SCL, Pup, Raptor22, Scarbs, Manchild, Jason.Parker.86, autogyro, Shaddock, and many that I have missed, and those who supported me in PM's when I knew I was on to something. Also to the "F1 guys" that had some more intimate knowledge and didn't want to post publicly, thanks also.
The line between genius and insanity is often blurred. Yes the simplest explanation is often the correct one. But how often is major innovation made from the simplest explanantion?
As you said, if you dont like the discussion then dont take part.
