Re^6: Feedback. (updated)

[BrowserUk]

I thank you for your considerate, and considered response.

I ask you to look again.

Ask yourself:

1. Was LanX's response to my OP (in its original form to which I responded; prior to his having modified it beyond reasonable chance of recognition; as is his trademark), intended -- in any way shape or form -- to help me with my problem?

   Or is it -- as I perceive it to be -- simply an(other) example of his grandstanding his (claim to be) mathematically superior?

2. Do you perceive that anyone with his ability and obvious knowledge, whom has been interacting with me here for ?? years, could reasonably expect me to not: a) have the ability to consult wikipedia -- from which everything he said in his first reply is almost a direct quote; b) be conversant with simple arithmetic -- including trigonometry?

   (NB: I've mentioned that I am a Mech.Eng and fully qualified draftsman here on numerous occasions.)

3. Was my original response in anyway rude, belittling or hostile?

   Or rather, a considered, and measured -- if forthright -- response to an obvious and an unwarranted attempt to belittle me, by subverting my genuine question?

   Having spent a considerable percentage of my career working on the continent, with variously: Nederlandres (loved their "DampKring kamaer grap"), Deutsche, Les Belges/Belgen, Français, Dansk, Suomen, Svenskarna, Norsk, amongst others; my personal impression of most Germans is that they are robust, practical, and: happy to engage in calm debate; abhor bullsh*t; and respond to logical reasoning.

   LanX seems to be the exception.

So, I ask you to please: return to the root node of this thread; read what I wrote, and, in the light of your knowledge of, ... me....

Consider his first response. (Was that a genuine attempt to service the purpose of this place, by helping me?)

Then read my (uncharacteristically) polite, considered -- inoffensive-to-anyone-with-even-a-modicum-of-confidence-in-their-own-position -- response to it.

And then read his (childish, knee-jerk, foul-mouthed, should-have-been-considered-out-of-existance, but-is-currently-the-most-up-voted) response in this thread; despite that there is, at least one, other post(s) that provide(s) a(n) excellent, direct, unassuming answer to my question.
