you're best bet for more technical information is to use pm to another member that would know, or to be in chat.
i believe the idea behind it was also for the person that saw a video of someone doing christmas blinky, then went online to find a site that did it.
would you be more willing to participate in a site that was all "E=IR" or "I=E/R" when you didn't know what E, I or R was?
or would you more likely go to a site that does, "to get blinky, start off with a dowhizzer, then add a couple of hickeybangs, and just put a cable in between, it's as easy as that!
as far as getting technical, there's a lot of people that can be proud or passionate about there way to do things, and sometimes there's more than one way to do something. It can get to the point where someone' defensive, or just doesn't see a point in changing their ways. and then it can get heated. and that leaves a bad "PR image", if you say, for the whole activity, to those wanting to get started in this hobby. and that leaves less blinky in the world.
my advice, log into chat from time to time, log onto teamspeak from time to time when you see people on. start to get to know people and catch a few conversations that are going on, and you'll be able to ask questions. I made a post in my smart string project a week or so ago. I had mentioned that I received help from a few people. This info from them all came from PM, or chat, or Teamspeak. It does help provide a way for people to get technical without intimidating new users from participating.
Sometimes a new user might feel like, "with all this technical talk, what do i have to add to the mix? I'm just starting out!" RJ definately wants us participating. 2,985 membes don't want to hear ME talk all the time!
