AVR-Chat

Tsk tsk.  You're talking personalities, not engineers!  We come in all
shapes and temperaments.  That latter is also somewhat determined by the
time of day and day of week as well.  :)

Now I'm pretty thick skinned so I could be wrong, but it seems to me that
the majority of folks here are quite friendly but could get prickly when
asked an unanswerable question like "how high is up?", which does happen
from time to time.

We've had a recent wave of, "How do I connect my battery? Its marked '+'
and '-' and my AVR pins are not labeled." The kind of questions that
suggest the asker wouldn't understand any answer.
