I didn't take any offense.  I'm seriously looking for someone to proofread this to make sure my terminology is correct.
Thanks I was hoping so too and I really like reading your and DL's input and perspectives.

So you did right that. Please finish your work, I'd buy it!

IMHO, I think you have a lot to offer in writting a book on tubes/tube amps. I think you'll do a great job, go for it.     :thumbsup: 

Very impressive, I didn't know it was yours. I agree w/ Willabe

I'll call it "The Blind Leading the Blind," by Miss Information.  It's a 2 fold thang for me.  I want to help others but I also retain so much more when I write it down.  It's a win win situation.

If I am to really remember technical info for any length of time, I have to write it too. It cements it in to visualize later upon recall, at least for me too. The mind remembers things very well based on mental images or visualization.

I don't remember the exact numbers but once upon a time, I read a study that said something along the lines of:

The average person retains:
1% of what they hear
5% of what they read
10% of what they say
40% of what they write
90% of what they teach

I guess I don't remember cuz I didn't write it down.   :dontknow:
