I think your last post sums up most of the critique, if I can call it that, in this thread. What never ceases to amaze me is how people with little to no technical knowledge and experience pontificate and personally attack the few experts that post on forums. I used to frequent the 993 forum on Rennlist. You would think that such a forum would be narrow enough not to warrant personal attacks. But no. The most bitter thread was between staunch supporters of Mobil 1 who technically collectively knew a pinch of the proverbial, and 2 experts (one an oil specialist and the other a highly experienced mechanic) who for the best interests of owners advised that the reformulation of the oil to meet EU standards required no zinc and therefore had resulted in premature wear in oil cooled engines. We never saw those experts on the forum again. Why should they bother giving highly valuable advice only to be personally attacked by people with little to know actual technical knowledge and technical experience?
I know that I do not have the technical knowledge or the technical experience to evaluate designs on a technical level, and so never attempt to. What would be the point? Who would I be kidding? I guess I would first have to work out how to kid myself. But I can listen to a product and tell you what it sounds likes to me, and that is what I innocently tried to do for the benefit of those who might want to take advantage of my experience.
All the best,
