If your opinion is on the topic of whether I should continue to donate? Your own lack of record on donating your ??? quality skills to irex is certainly of paramount importance to me.
Since you apparently haven't done squat, that's how much your opinion of me continuing to donate is worth to me. We have an expression: pot calling kettle black. You want to criticize me for not donating when you aren't donating?
And if you could read, this thread is here because people kept emailing (the real issue) and PMing me (not a problem since I wasn't logging in). I was most certainly "out the door".
Also? You, an engineer? I doubt it.
Engineer's don't rank each other by "tech skills". Technicians are compared by their tech skills.
Engineers are ranked by their knowledge, mathematics and communication skills and ability to apply them to creative and elegant new designs. Engineers are also usually legally responsible for their designs and seeing to it that they are built in a legal manner so they don't cause harm.
Technicians though are in some cases envious of engineers and sit around grumbling about how engineers are overrated, over paid prima donnas, arrogant beyond belief and never do any
real work.
Hey does that sound familiar to you?
If you want to move up I suggest you work on your communication skills. Engineers need excellent communication skills to consume vast quantities of information and then clearly communicate what and how to build things based on all that knowledge to technicians. And yes, it is unfortunate that mastery of English is very helpful for any aspiring electronics engineer.
