   Lucifer,   
      
   When you're on a rooftop, "aiming an antenna", and you call down to the guy   
   below connected via a laptop to the other end of the POE, asking...   
   o "Did we get to 60 decibels yet"   
      
   Do you really think it's helpful if the helper starts quibbling   
   o About the "type" of decibels, or   
   o About the "minus" sign?   
      
   Only in the classroom, where the goals are different   
   o Is the type of qubbling you did ... even remotely helpful   
      
   Your quibbling (and that of others) was of no value to the group.   
   o It only made _you_ feel good that you found an inaccuracy   
      
   It's jsut as if you harangue the tire shops for advertising   
   o "We balance tires"   
   Or   
   o "We balance wheels"   
      
   When you probably don't know the slightest thing about any of this stuff.   
   o If you do, your quibbling doesn't prove it.   
      
   If you want to ADD VALUE, Lucifer, realize that Usenet is a pot luck.   
   o Your value is what you ADD to the equation   
      
   Quibbling about everyone elses' food without bringing any of your own   
   o Is what you did, Lucifer.   
      
   Why don't you try to ADD value to this thread, Lucifer?   
   o Tell us how you increase the range of our desktops, for example;   
   o Or, tell us how to throw (or receive) Internet from afar, Lucifer;   
   o Or, tell us how to paint WIFi to the far corners of our property.   
      
   Tell us something useful.   
      
   Tell us something we don't already know, Lucifer.   
   o Instead of childishly quibbling about colloquial terminology.   
      
   --   
   The value add here is that for about the price of a typicl router, you can   
   get far more powerful equipment that works better, when you need range.
