Hi Yigit, I think you are completely wrong about Olin, but of course you can think wh= at you like. Although I do not always agree with is approach, he is a great= asset to this list, and the experience that he has, that you think not rel= evant, I found it quite relevant in the past.=20 If he really upsets you this much, why don't you try ignoring him, there ar= e plenty of people that will be willing to help you if they think your ques= tion merits it. I have been flamed by Olin in the past, but I also have been helped by him = to, so I just developed a way to deal with it. There is method in is madness.

Completely correct statements. He is not happy from his personal life and doing everything possible to project this unhappiness to people around which corresponds to a specific psychological disorder - if you check it up. That's why he works in his small company rather than a big corporate environment. He just thinks that he knows everything or has the base to get everything once researched - but he is really far from that. Most of you think he knows what he is doing on topics other than embedded design but (sorry) those who think this way knows no more than him on that topic obviously. He has extensive knowledge on PIC's -only- and nothing else. He thinks stuff he learned years ago is practical and valid today and this can be understandable since tendency to believe self's solution is the only correct one is one of the specific characteristics of small minds. Maybe he's just not evolved enough to hold a discussion in a professional manner or has issues getting hard. Either way he should only be posting to PIC and some of EE tags. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
