ADC/DAC Conversion to "decimal", best practices....

<< < (23/23)

MK14:
On some forums, more like stack exchange and similar.  There is an attempt to reach the best possible technical answer, for some question.  E.g. Best/fastest way of factoring a large number.

So, keeping a thread like that alive (on the appropriate forums, especially), would make a lot of sense.

But, if someone asks for help, on a particular, fairly specific issue, on a more general help/questions and answers forum, such as this one.  It is much more geared up to leaving a long finished thread alone.

With fairly obvious exceptions, such as 'Post what your lab looks like' etc threads.

The complication with this thread, is that it has a fairly generic title, applicable to other things.  But in practice is about a very specific set of requirements, needs, to suit the original OP's, current project, at the time.

On reflection, I don't agree at all with MK14 about necro posting.
It happens every day here on eevblog, with people regularly adding useful information to old threads, or asking in-context questions.
Better that than similar discussions spread across many threads.

If MK14 feels strongly about it, I suggest starting a poll about auto-locking threads older then x days.
Otherwise, please remember to check the post dates before joining a discussion.

I'm happy for our opinions to vary, about thread organization and necroing of older threads.

Because the original opening post, is in the form of a very specific question (in my opinion) , I think it is probably best to leave the thread alone.  As reawakening it, could cause some confusion.  As, not everyone checks the dates.  So, they may spend time trying to answer a specific question.
While unaware the question was asked many years ago, and the original poster, may have solved the problem, long ago, and could have left the forum, also many years ago.
