Maybe this should be a PM, seeing how it's addressed to Ivan, but I think it's a forum feedback, so here it is, loud and in public.

Thank you, Ivan.
Thank you, Greg.
Thank you, PF.

12-year-old brother called me, because he and 15-year-old brother were debating if the Moon Landing(s) was/were real. Luckily, my phone battery was dying, so 15-year-old was spared my rant. I did not want to go through all of the silly arguments he picked up, and so I am properly grateful for the S&D thread (yup, the one I recently dissed out by accident) and the search feature that let me bang him over a link and not worry my pretty little head about it.

Growl. It's tough when it's your own family, even if it is just a teenager trying to be cool...

I love S&D, Ivan does a great job!

Thank you Ivan! :approve:
 
Awww shucks...

But really, thank you. Hopefully S&D has a little something for everyone. And let's not forget that everything at PF is a team effort. If it wasn't for all of our outstanding members, the threads would be pretty bare. :biggrin:

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...
