I think its time the old timers in electronics were a bit more tolerant to the newbies.
There was a time when I didnt understand the basics but due to other understanding and patient engineers I learned.

I know on most groups you get the clever clogs or the high and mighty.
I would have thought on a more intelectual group like this the attitudes might have been better !

There's nothing wrong with this list. This is the way lists are. When 
you join, you're supposed to figure out from other posts what is 
acceptable and what isn't, what the general tone is, who knows how much 
about what, etc., and then either stay or leave as you please. This 
isn't Wikipedia. If people blow off posters who won't think for 
themselves, it is to assert the norms of the list as well as to 
instruct the poster.

What makes you believe those _others_ were not very-tolerant,
understanding and very-, very-patient old-timers who humbly chuckle at
your childish greed, np np?  Do they owe you something?

I don't think anyone said it was owed.  I think he was acknowleging  
the value of the help he received from those patient and helpful  
engineers in the past.  The measure of being welcoming and helpful is  
the stuff you do that is not owed.
