Jan,
You should be enlighted by the presence of so much knowledge on this forum.
Your reaction is most offending and not necessary at all.
I don't understand why some Dutch forummembers always react so crude
We are adults discussing subjects of our hobby in a friendly and respectful way here. I really don't understand why your reaction is like you were stuck by a bee. Probably you was very disapointed by the purchase of your book. Realize that we all had our moments of disapointment regarding our hobby.
Please don't unload your frustrations on a forummember.
The reaction of Rick on your topic was a friendly suggestion. Realize that most forummembers made their steps long before your 45 years. If you have so much knowledge share it with us. A good teacher is happy to share his knowledge with those who are interested and willing to learn.
Please show that we Dutch are sophisticated and well mannered as well.
