Any info I got came from people here who apparently do know what they're doing. I cited posts that show that while some are clear, many others are as casuall and potentially confusing as anything I have said, and that explains a lot of my own difficulty in picking it up. Either this place is useful for shared advice and information or it isn't! If there is a chain of Chinese whispers, don't 'fix' just one link. I'm usually persistent enough to fix an error in myself when I discover it, so Jon, you'd best start dealing with those that seem to be unaware of their part in this chain of vague information if you want to continue a crusade.
Doctor,
You know, all you readily do is regurgitate what you have read over the past ten years or so. Its time for you to give it a break and go out and do some actual lasing. When one has publically admitted they sold their last scan set, its not a good idea to wax philosophical with the careers, equipment, and safety of others.
Kudos on having the brain power to collimate information in the way you do, but your ASCII database of laser newsgroup and forum text is slipping out of date. Perhaps to post in a thoughtful, meaningful, manner in a few threads rather then commenting in EVERY thread would be a good start.
This is not the elegant essay forum, this is a place for applied, practical, knowledge and fun.
Commenting on safety practices when you are not engaged in doing or learning of such practices is crossing the line.
Perhaps you should go out and do some volunteer work, some place where that memory skill is useful. Get out and meet people instead of dwelling on PL all day.
There is no way for me to say this without coming across as cruel, but there IS life outside of PL.
Steve
