[Milsurplus] Big/Heavy - Clarification

[David Stinson]

Need to clarify something:
"Introduced an "error" as an "easter egg,"  "error" was not the right word.  Never intentionally introduced a technical mistake that would make someone waste time or mess-up a repair.  A better word would be an "absurdity."  Have made many circuit mistakes and had to correct them, but never introduced a technical or circuit error on-purpose.  

Got the idea of the "easter eggs" from one such mistake.  Wrote-up a small project.  A couple of dozen people said it would be useful they would certainly build and try it.  Posted a diagram and moved on.  About two years later, I was cleaning-up the hosting space and looked at the diagram.  There was a glaring error; this thing could not work.  No one ever said a single word- not in two years.  That told me that many people said they were going to build it, but not one of them actually did.  Posted a correction, but remembered the lesson of that experience.   Subsequent "experiments" followed the same pattern: Lots of people say they are going to do something- few or none actually do it.

And no; won't tell what or where ;-)
