" My daughter is a high school teacher and occasionally there will be a pupil that says he or she has read this on the internet and its the right way to do things etc etc and then learning the way it's done here goes out the window."
What about Bill Gates? A uni drop out who did his own thing and came up with Microsoft. Scores of non academics contributed to technology. From late 80's to early 90's I was in the uni system but now feel I learn more just developing my interest and not getting bogged down with routines. If something gets boring I drop it for a time and change course. Threads like this are free terrain so again in case of being bored, anyone can take a thread in a new direction. I'm hardly going to make a post to highlight what I like or dislike, although some sites have a "like" or dislike icon.
I would never myself object to a post but jusy skip by it if it wasn't useful. I suspect Lawrence shares this amateur radio angle so not a total washout to digress - as long as it's shop talk.
