To whom it may concern
I had decided to stop posting several months ago due to one of the moderators informing me that further references to my website would not be allowed due to forum rules, so I left (unsavory rule for me). Perhaps I was mistaken about this rule. What is the forum rule regarding this and where is it stated?
Here is what I'd like to propose - Leaving here was a very sad decision that I had to make. But not being allowed to post a URL to, say, a derivation I worked out and placed on my website for prosperity is something I'm unable to understand. I could post the derivation here for those very simple and short derivations if I knew Latex to that extent. However space is limited here so some derivations cannot be placed here. Further more some derivations are helped with illustrations which is impractical to post here in my opinion. Especially if there are several images to post. And to do it all over again when the subject comes up again is just a waste of work. I'd rather have it at my website and post the URL. What I could do so that the reader knows the source is to tell them that I had worked it out myself and placed it on a web page at my personal web site. So they can judge the source by knowing me as much as they trust any poster who is posting here. At least with my web pages I can reference sources in which the derivations of math can be found.
Is this exceptable? If not can it be changed so that it is acceptable and yet I can still post a URL to a derivation?
I'd rather come back here and do that than remain on the sci.physics.relativity newsgroup since its filled with nasty people, quite unlike this place. However I find that I am unable/unwilling to contribute to conversations when I can't refer to work I've already done to explain the topic at hand or be refused to allow me to explain something by doing the work on a web page and then printing the web page.
Thank you for your patience.
Pete
