Interest & Mathematics

There are some interesting facts here on the BB specifically regarding the multitude of postings.

Thoughts to ponder -
1.  How are there so many views and so few comments?   Just look at the statistical data - each post has the views and comments listed.
2.  Is the content here not of enough value to be appreciated? 
3.  There are many persons that have been heavily involved in ACMOC - many have quit posting!  They freely gave some very important and pertinent answers to help those in need.  When those persons quit posting - everyone loses.   As some of these folks are in their "golden years", their knowledge and experiences will be lost.  

Off the soap box ---

There is so much information available now in the library and by searching the old posts a person can find a gold mine of information on this site without the need of a lot of additional input. So many issues have been discussed and answered previously that the info is already here and available if a person can figure out how to use the search tool effectively. I visit this site multiple times daily but very rarely log in. Others may do the same which may make it look like the site is used by fewer members than actually use this site. The content here still has value and I personally appreciate it. As long as we have access to the archived old posts a lot of the knowledge will hopefully not be entirely lost.  Just my opinion.

I have a lot more to learn and don't know enough to contribute much would sum up my position. Just an old farmer that has had a D2 around since mid 50's that seems to have multiplied quite a few times. Still looking WF

Hi All,
My maths
D2+D2=D4
D2+D4=D6
D3+D4=D7
D3+D3=D6
D4+D4=D8
D4+D5=D9
D5+D5=D10
D5+D6=D11
D7+D4=D11

for me I have R4+D4+D4+D4+D4+D4+D4+D4=No Money.

And a tug to pull the money from the wallet

Regards

Daryl

Thank You - great mathematics and very appropriate  - took some thought to come up with those!

Glad to see someone is out there and reads the posts of the many contributors.

Hi, rax200.

Yer missed a few:
D2+D3=D5
D3_D5=D8
D3+D6=D9
D2+D2+D4=D8
D2+D3+D4=D9
D4+D6=D10
D2+D3+D6=D11

And the list could go on - with all of them being mathematically correct but VERY FEW of them being factually correct on the ground.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

(D4 X D4) / D2 = D8
Wish I had a D8 :)

Speaking of effectively using the search function: I tried to bring up an old picture of some part I had looked at long ago, can't remember now just what it was. I found text from everybody who could identify the color yellow, but no photos. Did I miss something important in my search criteria, or did we actually archive all of the postings without the photos and/or illustrations? I checked back into my old postings and found none of my old photos. What's the story?

Jack, I lost my photos also when the system was "Upgraded". They may be there someplace, and I am just not smart enough to find them. I hope that is the case. Hopefully there is someone who can answer your question.
