![]() 25215 forum posts 3105 photos 1 articles | Michael I feel most of the regulars on here have a reasonable idea of what JS has got upto during his lifetime in engineering through the various references he has made in his posts. On the otherhand we know little of what your engineering background is so although a full blown CV is not worth writing as you say above maybe a brief resume would stimulate further questions from the members. Also possible a few photos of things you have made/designed both hobby and business related if for no other reason to let certain people see that you are more than just an armchair engineer, we know JS is certainly a very hands on type engineer with much practical experiance.

PS Good to see you back |

![]() 337 forum posts 107 photos | What post? this forum is definitely over moderated, perhaps rather than posting on the forum we should just send PM's or do these get read also?? |

![]() 25215 forum posts 3105 photos 1 articles | Maybe Neil deleted it himself as he is now also a moderator. Yes it is possible for us to read PMs but I have never done it as they are "Private" J EDIT thanks for that Michael, you posted as I was commenting on Moderation.

![]() 2314 forum posts 139 photos | Sorry Michael I think this is a very bad idea. There is huge potential for conflict with consequent bad feeling / upset. John's background and experience seems far different from yours but both of you have made your mark as engineers. The relevance that both of you have to this forum is in illuminating the various aspects that a "Home" engineer encounters and providing some assistance towards solving their problems. I'm sure that you each have your own approaches and both are valid. Let's concentrate on what this forum is ( mostly!) about - blokes in sheds making "stuff" for fun. Regards Norman |

![]() 19226 forum posts 749 photos 86 articles | For clarity, I deleted my own post. My feeling was that this thread, well meaning or otherwise, had the appearance of being a deliberate troll. On reflection I withdrew it as I feared adding to the OP's previously expressed concern that they were being treated unfairly. On further reflection, I think it is probably best that this thread is locked (I don't yet know how to do this) as this forum is for discussion of engineering, not haute cuisine. Participants who have dim views for each other's opinions are respectfully encouraged to at least agree to make mutual use of the 'ignore member' button. Neil |

707 forum posts 1 photos | Norman, I think you will find it unlikely there will be a sudden rash of project details and pictures from the professional guys - most work is done for a specific client and even if non disclosure is not signed confidentiality is implicit. It often causes problems when trying to demonstrate experience! Mark |

![]() 6956 forum posts 229 photos | I think a thread based on just two peopleis a bit elitist. It is noticable on other threads that lots of people like to have the opportunity to give an account of their life even if it is intensely boring and irrelevant to the topic under discussion. So a thread devoted to autobiography might satisfy that need. Can't see the relevance of parsley. I do prefer search engine friendly titles. |
