I have to say that I'm disappointed on this. I'm sick & tired of in-your-face insulting challenges to 75% of my responses or posts.
...

Unless Phil was able to completely re-write the software, which I'm not inclined to ask, I'm not sure that the format you would like to see is possible here. I'm sorry that you are disappointed, but there isn't a practical way to provide that feature. Even if there was, what would be the criteria and who would be the arbiter? That opens up way too many unsavory scenarios

The thread ended up locked. There was no insults & name calling from me, just simple facts. Now it's impossible to discuss it further there, and it wasn't mine or Terry's thread! This has happened to numerous threads, locked forever...

The thread ended up locked, because of the insulting challenges mentioned above. The best way to deal with insults is to ignore them...and NOT get personal, THAT goes for both parties! Eventually I get around to viewing the posts here and take appropriate action. Sometimes there is actual information in the offending post that needs to be edited, in order to be saved. Frankly, in my current condition, I do not have the time or energy to do that and reading the voluminous responses, that go on and on and on and on, are too taxing for me right now, so the easiest thing to do was to lock it down and hope that BOTH parties get the hint, which is... to STOP.

I posted follow up info in a new thread, after the other was locked. It filled in the blanks and further gave the fluid engineering that dictates such a surge coil being necessary. I got it in the face again!
...

Again, that just allowed additional fodder for a retaliatory response. I had a really hard time following the information. I have a college education, but I'm not a trained engineer, nor do I have your experience or training, so it was all Greek to me and hard to follow. Rather than clarify, some of the follow up information was so voluminous as to be confusing. The original question was basically, "is this coil original?"


You all will notice that I posted a huge amount of solid engineering practice to fully support what I stated and to clearly describe the reason for such a surge coil. I've tried to give similar proofs in other threads on different subjects...See above, I'm not sure it was helpful for dummies like me. Most of that was over my head.
I'm left in a situation of either leaving the forum, which I don't want to do, or being insulted & slandered & ridiculed nearly every time I post...
