AI Thread Summary
A forum user expressed a desire to delete their account after finding the discussions too advanced for their understanding. They praised the community for being friendly and helpful but concluded that the forum wasn't the right fit for them. Forum rules state that accounts and posts cannot be deleted on demand, as they are considered permanent for the benefit of all users. The user inquired about disabling their account instead. The conversation included light-hearted suggestions on how to get banned if that was the user's goal.

Hi Guys,

I only signed up to discuss a specific topic being discussed elsewhere ... never really did get the answer since the answers were mainly way over my head :)

I have to say though it's a great forum and the people on it are friendly and helpful (if a little too specialised/smart for me) and you should be proud but it's not for me so would someone kindly delete my account?

Thank'ee kindly Sirs :)

Should be easy enough to get banned if that's what you want. I'm sure you could find a way to go out in a blaze of glory. Start talking about perpetual motion in a few forums.

I give you a day.

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. 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...
This came up in my job today (UXP). Never thought to raise it here on PF till now. Hyperlinks really should be underlined at all times. PF only underlines them when they are rolled over. Colour alone (especially dark blue/purple) makes it difficult to spot a hyperlink in a large block of text (or even a small one). Not everyone can see perfectly. Even if they don't suffer from colour deficiency, not everyone has the visual acuity to distinguish two very close shades of text. Hover actions...
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...
