[QUOTE="Ampdog, post: 287863, member: 144"] Not at all picking on you, but your statement bears the reason for so much unnecessary strife on this forum ever since I joined. Kindly allow some comment on that: It begs the definition of "opinion". It might denote (and usually does) someone's idea fo how he sees matters regarding whatever subject - but it might also be someone's statement of a principle (basic law) pertaining to said subject. [I]It is this failure to recognise the difference[/I] that leads to unnecessary and often derogatory dialogue (there is a difference!). In fact 'opinion' and 'statement of fact' can in some sense be mutally exclusive. In this sense your statement of "one man's opinion" is with respect off the mark. Elliott certainly does express opinions, but the concluding sentences you refer to (if I read you correctly) are basic electronic principles like Ohms's Law and the Law of Gravity expressed in Elliott's way, with Elliott as the messenger only. Again - there is a difference! [/QUOTE]
