You are welcome, here are a few more.
I will not argue your defensive postures in your post #1263 above as it will bring no further value to this thread, and I can even empathize with you on some of them.
If you were to refer to my post #1231 above and read it, and follow the link at the bottom and read that, you could safely extrapolate that I, like many mechanics in the industry, like to share elevator knowledge with other professionals in the industry and related industries.
With regards to elevator technical knowledge including tips, tricks and fixes, my circle of co-workers, including friends and ex co-workers now working for other companies, share information and help each other out whenever the need arises. Helping each other out for us is as natural as breathing. In fact, we relish in the opportunity to help each other out - we keep open score for fun and prizes.
Further, I am all for expanding my circle of friends and reaching out to others in the industry to give and get help and for information exchange. I have posted here previously in these same such ways.
I am simply opposed to slapping "how to fix it" information on the good old WWW for John Q. Public to use or misuse in their own way, especially if John Q. Public intends to use it on systems under my personal care. I also see this as a disservice to the elevator industry as elevators are our bread and butter.
John Q. Public has visited this site and will again, to try to fix his elevator - a complex enough system that I believe is best left for industry professionals. Again, you could follow my post #1231 above for a clear example of same.
If you or other readers do follow that post, keep in mind that search engines enable John Q. to lurk and glean this information without even asking or joining. As I mentioned once before - forever and for whom ever.
Limiting access to "how to fix it" technical elevator information to individuals within the industry is a worthy topic for discussion and we should be able to discuss it in a non-condescending manner.
In my opinion, you obviously believe otherwise.
