School is free for everyone up until 18-19 years of age.
But if you're over 18, and unemployed, you can take free courses at local colleges - the idea been that more qualifications will help you get a job. Unfortunately some lazy, work shy, people do nothing but continually take courses.
Maybe it is me but I feel that the number of post that require a reply has dropped. Also, there seems to be more people replying to threads who have little knowledge. When you try to correct this you end up getting flamed and if you retaliate you get banned or a infraction (who came up with that word). I posted a thread about this but it just got deleted.
Overall, I think the quality of this forum is dropping. Privately, I think a lot of knowledgeable posters agree with me.
Are you addicted Nigel? I notice you have >13 posts per day?

I have not been visiting here for a while and just read a few posts today. I am amazed at the number of stupid and technically incorrect answers people are getting. Really! Experienced techs who can't correctly wire rectifiers to a multi-tap transformer. The change is quite dramatic from a couple of months ago. It's like some posters are taking stupidity pills.

The village idiots are getting more opinionated about stuff they clearly dont understand and it seems that nit picking the basic and common sense non relevant safety issues is becoming the latest fad. **broken link removed**
Why reply when the retards just go after you and leave bad rep instead of really learning about why you have no concern about an issue?? **broken link removed**
The ironic thing is that many people came here from another board because of an over zealous moderator. I now learn that Hero has been banned for a month because he called a moderator a nazi. A knowledgable and the most prolific poster here gets a 1 month ban for name calling.
Mike.
I feel bad about it too.
He got it for defending me on the 120 VDC solar panel thread and its resulting fallout from Bryan1. This thread is in a way part of that fallout.
Yea I named a name this time too! Anyone who reads the thread will see its a fair and honest naming.
However for the record I still have no bad will towards Bryan1 or his work here in general.
What each person gets from this is their take and opinion.
Hero999 got banned for his though and has brought up some issues I think we all need to take a closer look at and soon.

I suspect you are referring to item 3 of the definition list, but one must remember that many of the UK members such as Eric lived through the period of WWII and may find the Nazi term quite offensive as this was a very distasteful period for this planet.1. a member of the National Socialist German Workers' party of Germany, which in 1933, under Adolf Hitler, seized political control of the country, suppressing all opposition and establishing a dictatorship over all cultural, economic, and political activities of the people, and promulgated belief in the supremacy of Hitler as Führer, aggressive anti-Semitism, the natural supremacy of the German people, and the establishment of Germany by superior force as a dominant world power. The party was officially abolished in 1945 at the conclusion of World War II.
2. a person elsewhere who holds similar views.
3. Sometimes Offensive. (often lowercase**broken link removed**) a person who is fanatically dedicated to or seeks to control a specified activity, practice, etc.: a jazz nazi who disdains other forms of music; tobacco nazis trying to ban smoking
That theory would make sense ignoring the fact that the "Nazi moderator" who as good as threatened to delete your "inverter crap" if you posted it outside your thread is Australian.
...personal attacks isn't tolerated on this forum and members only need to read the announcement above each forum.
