Is that so Jootikins ?

We'll skip lightly over Poopie's exceedingly unprofessional lack of
professional gravitas.

I expect that if true, this knowledge must be widely available. How
about a cite
?

We'll skip lightly over Poopie's illiterate use of the verb "cite" for
the noun, "citation", or Poopie's appalling misuse of that concept
when
he means "reference".

But what sort of an engineer has never heard of Timoshenko's Strength
of Materials? Several hundred editions were published in the last
hundred years. It is a reference known to every engineer and techie,
to
every scaffolder and rigger. But Graham "Poopie" Stevenson is ignorant
of Timo!

Is there is anyone who was at college with Poopie Stevenson who can
confirm his claim that he qualified as an engineer? Not that a diploma
guarantees competence -- we've seen quite a few diplomaed quarterwits
on these newsgroups over the years -- but at least its lack would be a
start towards explaining Poopie Stevenson's ignorance on this and
other
matters essential to any self-respecting engineer.

The trouble with Poopie is not what he doesn't know, but what he knows
for certain that isn't true. --- with apologies to Mark Twain

those of use who are not mechanical or structural engineers will almost
certainly not be familiar with timmy's strength of materials.
electrical engineers are not required to study structures at length.

That may be true, Jason, but if you cast your mind back I think you
will discover that the reason pipes are preferred to rods was mentioned
in the first ten minutes of whatever time was given to structures.
Poopie Stevenson above admits that he is ignorant of an engineering
fact known by every hotrodder in the world. And, if he doesn't know any
hotrodders to straighten him out, he claims to have associated with
rock groups, so how come he lacks the curiosity in forty years to ask
the roadies and riggers why they use tubes rather than rods for
erecting stands? I mean, this idiot Poopie Stevenson has the monumental
cheek to lecture people who actually build their own gear on "science",
but he has no common curiosity, and no common sense either, just a
little bit of rote learning that he spouts as rules of thumb as if he's
frightened that thought will tarnish him.

timmy's strength of materials.

Timoshenko was an educated Ukrainian of Victorian times. He would not
have spoken with the strangled peasant accent later popularized by
Kremlin-dwelling Ukrainian scum like Kruschev. So the likelihood is
that he would have pronounced his name tea-moe-shank-ko, not
tim-mo-shenko. So I prefer Timo to Timmy, though I surely admire your
familiarity with the great man.

We're wondering ourselves here on rec.audio.tubes (RAT) what Poopie
Stevenson and Slapdash Krueger's ignorance has to do with the sort of
electronics we do. These two clowns, despite being told repeatedly that
they are not welcome, hang around deliberately draining the glee from
our tube audio hobby.

What happened is that a distinguished RAT discussed someone else's
theory of thin cables. I pointed out, above, that *mechanically" a tube
is much more economical than a rod of material, and that a thin film is
just an opened out tube.

Predictably, these two undereducated, unread (actually illiterate)
scumballs, Graham "Poopie" Stevenson and Arny "Slapdash" Krueger, then
stormed around displaying their ignorance like beggars proudly showing
off their amputations by leprosy.

So, Gerhard, now you know as much as we do about why these two idiots
have boosted a quiet little discussion between likeminded
niche-hobbyists into an audio-wide bovver. I suppose it is just what
their sort of bullies do when they meet people who don't conform to
their own lowest common denominator of brutish ignorance.

Slapdash Krueger, incidentally, also told several lies, and displayed
an amazing contempt for the laws of physics, then ran when confronted
with his lies and deceits. That is in another thread also widely
dissemminated:

HTH. Anytime you want the behaviour of netscum explained, just ask; I'm
the fellow who saw off the Magnequest Scum and Pinkerton and a few
lesser bores; eventually I shall take care of Slapdash and Poopie too.
