Spirit of the forum, OT?
As this is not strictly technical it may be considered OT but I feel it must be said, here or in the most appropriate forum. It concerns the spirit of the Group which is exemplified in the immediate response (often in a torrent) to requests for assistance especially from the technically challenged ones, present company notably included. Since joining I've seen, not just advice but offers of hardware free where obsolete or otherwise unobtainable. I've discovered that this generosity of spirit is not confined to the R to R followers as I've had occasion to join a sister community, Vintage Test instruments with an oscilloscope usage query. Along with the immediate slew of advice there is now on its way to me a working instrument FOC, as Chris states he has two.
It occurs to me that if this ethic could be bottled and distributed to those men who control the levers of life and death on us there would be no atomic weapons, no Iraqs, Palestines or Syria and no shameful African poverty
