Depends on where you are. :)

The time-nuts now has a social web all from the happy hobbyist, advanced 
hobbyists (and I've just learned that there is more of them than I 
thought) into professionals. It is interesting that I see an openness 
and friendliness which is really encouraging. We are in on this together 
so to speak, we just have different limitations.

I'll happy to join further gettogethers with fellow time-nuts whenever I 
cán. So I agree with Tom, Tom and Alan. I was actually hearing Tom 
discuss this a little earlier this week, so I intentionally wanted to 
get a trigger for a discussion, and was really happy to see Tom follow 
along with that trigger.

I've met many people whose articles I've read over the years. They 
really are trying to bring out the best folks, even if they left the 
"bureau" for spin-offs, got pensioned or whatever. It's a good mix of 
thery and practice. Got to see a demo of a 2.5 GHz phase noise 
measurement demonstrating calibration and cross-correlation spectrum 
analysis. The rig was built from scratch. It showed how difficult this 
is, so well, you know what you pay for when you get a test-set.

Cheers,
Magnus
