I'll bet something said on Dave's twitter caused some triggering.

Yes Dave, spot on! Perish the thought that a total stranger whom one has never met, doesn't like one's views, and we feel compelled to call them out on it  :palm: - I value your work and effort hugely mate, please don't let the vocal 0.001% drown out the others who love your work.

A single bean I could not care about whether someone feels I am right or wrong - there's no crime in thinking - I just leave em to it.

(Though I do agree that the male to female ratio would be much worse for Engineers vs Scientists. but that is only a short term issue.)

Short term issue? I dunno about that.

Really? Ridiculous?

There are many many repair threads that have been posted over the years (of which I've contributed quite a few). Some of the information and advice is very valuable to others trying to fix the same test equipment. I've gone back and looked at some of my test equipment repair/restoration threads and the number of picture views since I last posted in the thread really amaze me. Someone out there is looking at the information on this forum and hopefully is using it to their advantage.

Also some of the information as to how to restore and fix older equipment is very hard to find anywhere else.

So I don't know what bug got up your arse but I don't think you have a clue as to what this forum is really all about.

A couple of sayings of mine in quotes...

1. EEVBLOG is not a waste of time at all.
      Reminds me of... "You don't like what is on TV? Change the channel and stop whinging."

2. EEVBLOG caters to WIDE range of interest in electronics where everyone learns something (except maybe you).
       Reminds me of... "If you learn more and more about less and less, eventually you will know everything about nothing."

3. EEVBLOG is created by someone who is passionate about electronics.
       Reminds me of.... "One volunteer is worth ten conscripts."

To most us us, EEVBLOG is a winner, winner, chicken dinner :-+.

The EEVBLOG is not a book and I am sure Dave never intended it to be. I recently did some programming for BLE to do message handling. I started with a terrific book which I downloaded for free from author's website. So the author could receive due credit, I just bought the hard copy book https://www.amazon.com/Intro-Bluetooth-Low-Energy-Easiest/dp/1790198151. It was worth every cent because I could not be bothered nor had the time to read the entire BLE spec from Bluetooth.org; and it gave me enough understanding to the point where I could develop code to could transfer messages between an ESP32 and a Raspberry PI.

So "rather read credible books", could be "in addition to EEVBLOG's resources, read credible books". Also consider other users' experiences or what is in the EEVBLOG videos, won't necessarily be found in any book or university course.
