Hey, lick your wounds. I got a "like" here: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/renewable-energy/whats-wrong-with-smd-fets-on-pcb-lying-on-top-of-metal-plateheatsink/msg4546229/#msg4546229

Oh, I'm revelling in it :)
Thanking everybody cheapens any value there might be in saying thanks.

We are all equally valuable and skilled in/interested in different areas. It doesn't matter to me now, but as a teenager? Oh boy did it annoy me!!

I'm not quite sure why? Electrical engineering relates to the engineering of systems that involve electricity. I'm rather sure that electronic circuits use electricity, so they are electrical engineering.

With same success you can label every surgeon as butcher because both are cutting flesh.

There’s more to life than electronics. Have a laugh, it’s a good tonic and you’ll live longer.

The intent of this forum is to be electronics specific, the majority of us agree on that purpose.
If you want less engineering mindset, maybe check out arduino/adafruit/etc forum.
If you want something other than electronics, check out some of these forums, or go outside.

It’s an intelligent person who is both engineering minded whilst being fun and light hearted. It seems rare and that’s a pity. I’m well aware this is an engineering forum and don’t need to be told that, but having a laugh seems long forgotten by most. 🤣

You mean its less than zero? I won't stand for that. :) One of the things I like about this site is the complete irrelevance of "like" scores.

Oh, hang-on-a-mo, did I just "like" that? :)
