AI Thread Summary
Denis received a warning for straying off-topic, which some view as excessive given the context. The original topic has been overshadowed by unrelated discussions about dimensions and measurements.

Overall, effective moderation and clear questioning are essential for productive threads.

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...
