AI Thread Summary
Mentors emphasize the importance of private discussions rather than relying solely on report buttons for addressing issues. Reports are not intended to facilitate conversations and cannot substitute for direct communication. For matters like post removals, it's advised to send a direct message to the mentor involved. This approach fosters clearer dialogue and resolution. Effective communication is essential for addressing concerns within the community.

Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

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. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
