I think the big misunderstanding is that I am trying to "teach" anyone anything in a teacher role in
this specific thread. I've just been trying to
discuss the scientific stuff that we read with other science nerds. I'm not trying to take on the role of teacher here. It's obvious that this is the basis of this misunderstanding. I'm not here, in this thread, trying to advance anyone's "basic skill set". I'm trying to discuss what is clearly a more advanced topic. We all educate each other with our discoveries, but not constantly go back to the lowest common denominator here. We don't need to keep moving back to the basic beginner concepts and rehash them over and over.
I teach the newbies very well, and they thank me often. I have a much different expectation of understanding in the "Getting Started" area.
Rude...
Honestly, are you trolling me? It really feels like it. I say simply "I am getting frustrated" because the thread fails to have forward momentum, and get a "Calm down!" and "You're a sucky teacher!" It's quite hurtful.
