AI Thread Summary
The bcrowell account was locked due to an error that placed the user in the wrong user group, preventing posting. The issue has been addressed, and the account should now be functional again. However, there are still concerns as the username appears in a light font, indicating it may not be fully resolved. The user received an SA medal as a recognition of their contributions. Overall, the situation is improving, but further checks are needed to ensure complete functionality.

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures.
