Let’s see if that theory holds true today.

Funny, I feel that too so it must affect a few.

Why not just continue the conversation? In the tech thread, I answered exactly the same question many, many times...until I just stopped answering.

I agree and don't agree. We have new enthusiasts coming in all the time. It's really their world now. No more Grady or Early_S_Man gonna help now even though the solutions may be always the same old solutions.
I started in on the old tube radio hobby. That is decidedly a predominance of old men and they have to have a lot patience with the newbies of any age. Half or more of the interest is because of tube guitar amps and high end analog amps. And that part does tend to attract a younger set along with the guys that are still around from the Leo Fender age. Strictly old radios is a very dying hobby and HAAM radio is worse now tha they have digital.
Old threads are just as good as new ones, but tend to be lengthy and one never knows if there is misinformation included. So I lean towards the same ol' question being answered again and again, but in newer threads. Sometimes there is a twist and the thread starter did his research and did get his answer. And you know what? It gives the chance for some others to put in their 2 cents that weren't around when Pelican started. Otherwise we'd just get Bentley manuals, Wayne's books and some others like Bruce Anderson.
Anther note: someone was or might have archived every E_S_M and Grady Clay post and bound the whole thing together; the Porsche bible. Turn off the forum except for PPOT and events.
But if you need, you can pull Bill Verburg, Syncroid, John Walker's Workshop, Chuck Moreland and forgive me for not remembering the scores of extremely deep knowledgeable folks I don't remember at this moment. Is that what we want?
