to quick to lock? [CLOSED]

[bob g]

but it seems like sometimes the use of a "block" on a post is a bit hasty

at least to me.

the case in point

i checked in last night and there was a post about

whether or not an automotive regulator could be used as a charge controller

for a windgenerator.

i can think of a way that one could be used as the control element of a

power switch such as a mosfet using negative logic.

and would have liked to have attached it to the post for further discussion.

perhaps i am going about this all wrong, and if so i appologize.

also i am not PO'd or anything, i just would have liked to seen that post go a bit

further.

am i missing something?

See comment #3 for an idea why I don't comment on decisions.

bob;

Sorry, I will not publicly discuss editorial decisions. Just leads to a turd storm that I find useless.

TomW:

i understand, perhaps i should use another method to ask the question

but i don't know what other method to use.

is there an email addy to ask questions about this sort of thing?

Better quick lock it Tom, before anybody else posts!  A voltage regulator has nothing to do with making electricity.

Goose;

You know, you are exactly the type person that makes this job suck.

Sorry, but for obvious reasons, I do not publish my email here any more.

There is no real method for requesting information on why things are done the way they are. Maybe one day the owner will upgrade to a form of software that allows private messaging within the board. I doubt that will happen until this wreck we are floating on hits a reef or outright sinks.

I would suggest you could post a story on how you would utilize an automotive regulator in an RE system.

I could draw loose connections from almost anything to RE but that does not make it topical.

Some folks obviously do not read our FAQ or do any research and it is not good to reward them with posting space for being lazy.

Thats about as much as I can say without the PC police jumping on me to remind me they think this is a Democracy and I am violating folks rights.
