AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights frustration over the presence of unanswered questions on the forum, particularly those that are locked and deemed unanswerable, such as a specific thread on logarithmic mean temperature difference for heat transfer. Participants note that the unanswered count reflects only the past seven days, suggesting that it may not be a significant issue in the long term.

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

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.

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...
