The unfortunate truth is, there are some individuals who posses an enhanced entitlement mentality, and in addition feel as though they're so "special" that they have no compunction about making demands upon others that are clearly beyond reason, with the expectation of garnering advanced attention at no cost to themselves.
To make matters worse, their writing skills are so lacking that they're incapable of crafting a document (or even a simple sentence) that effectively communicates using simple words in text.
Writing must be done carefully, as the advantages of rate, volume, pitch, articulation, pronunciation, and fluency, as when communicating by voice, are unavailable. A sentence that could be understood one way when spoken aloud might carry a completely different connotation when being read in text.
In other words, there are rude people possessed of entitlement mentality who can't communicate effectively in writing.
I won't even start on the whole 'anonymous keyboard commando' subject except to mention it. 'Nuff said.
I still consider myself a newbie re: the flashlight hobby. I've always considered HKJ's selfless contributions one of the most valuable aspects of BLF in particular and, of the Li-Ion cell landscape in general. The time & effort required by HKJ to build the database, and the website to make it available must be very significant. To be freely offered as a labor of love of the hobby shows depth of character. HKJ's data have been an invaluable learning tool for me.
For some anonymous individual to criticize HKJ for not offering free Tech support unrelated to HKJ' particular domain upon demand is simply a reflection of that anonymous individual's poor character & lack of judgement.
Your contributions are highly valued, and you have my (and, I'm certain, others') utmost respect HKJ! Thank You!
