I agree in general principle.In this case, the off-topic posts/threads started with when you posted a response that was a parts list prefaced with "if there's any interest my parts are below...". Unintentionally, your post opened the door for off-tpoic responses without addressing xcortes' question. When I read Jeff's response to your post I considered calling-out Jeff on his off-topic, but I realised that it could be stretched that he was on topic in relation to your post.
With that said, I believe I did not help by asking questions in relation to power supplies and their modeling; my bad and I will try to always keep the *original* poster's question and intention in mind, rather than continuing subsequent off-topic posts. I agree that far too many threads evolve into debates about PS topologies and build methods that are at best extremely remotely related to the original post. It would make for a more productive forum if the instigators could stop (start a new topic!) and moderators make some attempt to keep discussions on topic.
I think we need to alert moderators to off-topic posts. If enough of us can do that, perhaps we could start to see more constructive discussions.

you're right to a certain extent.... I did post a parts list although my PS cap are 22uF not the 15uF use in the sims (not that the results would change that much)....
but more important, my thought is people are sincere in their efforts to share knowledge.... a lot of people have forgotten more stuff about electronics then I know.... Jeff M is a good example.... always willing to jump in and offer some thoughts.... however there is a difference between teaching, coaching, correcting AND feeling like you are having something shoved up your arse.... perhaps remembering what it was like to be mentored would give some perspective on how things sometimes come across when trying to mentor.... anyway Jeff, thank you for your suggestions.... now Dennis is another story.... ha.... dude, until you open up your kimono with a schematic, pictures, test results etc you are on thin ice.... remember your post about mounting capacitors and not to cut their leads but winding them like shock absorbers ?.... classic.... like making little RF antennas....
inevitably we migrate towards people who we feel offer knowledge and advice we relate to or are comfortable with.... its all good... in the end we build designs that interest us and live with the result.... or tear it apart and redo as we see an approach that could be an improvement.... so again sorry to all and thanks to all for the wealth of information shared.... best -Al
Though I don't mind Dennis' postings, for the most part.
