what exactly constitutes a troll?

No, I said no such thing. A previous poster made the lower Michigan
comment. I commented to the poster that made the uppie comment. That
fact that he top-posted isn't my problem.



Yes, you did. Your statement, "I think that is a yooper, not an uppie.
:-)", immediately follows the statement, "A native of lower Michigan." You
are responsible for the content and format of what you post, don't blame
anyone else.

I'm not responsible for the fact that you can't follow a threaded
discussion. Immediately follows in text, doesn't mean immediately
follows in time, especially when some folks insist on top posting.
Learn to use a threaded newsreader so you can keep the chronology straight.

You made an error. Learn from it. Move on.

No, you aren't smart enough to know what a usenet thread is. Learn how
before claiming someone made an error. Even a usenet rookie can tell
that my reply was to Jon Kraus' post of 9/28/05 9:50 PM. Read that post
again and you'll understand (well maybe) the context of my message.

You did not write what you think you did. You made an error. Learn from
it. Move on.

Have you considered that he may come across as annoying because
of different cultural background?

As far as I can tell, he's an American ex-pat. But even so, we get plenty
of people from a wide variety of cultures and for the most part people deal
with it just fine. I don't think this is a cultural thing.

[...] The other thing is that he might be also
quite young; teenagers can be really annoying even when they
don't mean to be :-)

I've known lots of teens who are just as respectful, or even more so, than
adults. But in any case, he's been around for years. He might have a
teen's maturity, but his actual age is almost certainly beyond that.

when I moved to USA it took
me a while to pick up the clues as to what was ok and what was
not in a conversation

Are you willing to share examples? Where did you come from?

Was your conclusion that it was this reduction in
velocity that resulted in the increase in temperature?

No, it was that the velocity goes from organized flow to
random thermal energy.

I haven't read the entire thread, but does the analysis that lead to
your conclusion include the heat transfer from the ambient atmosphere
through the conductive copper fill tubing to the O2 between the
reservoir tank and the tank being filled? The temperature
differential between the gas leaving the reservoir tank and the
ambient air must be pretty significant, so I would expect the heat
transfer to figure in your conclusion. Of course the amount of time
the O2 being transferred is exposed to ambient temperatures is also a
factor. How long does it typically take to complete the filling
operation?

You mentioned ignoring the temperature of the residual gas (at one
atmosphere pressure) contained in the bottle you are filling because
it was insignificant, but if the gas flowing into the bottle is
picking up heat as it is transferred, and then being compressed to a
higher pressure as the bottle fills, it seems its temperature would
rise.

So now your insulting anyone who doesn't take your view? Who says your
right?

The expansion only lasts until the tank is full to ambient pressure-a very
short time. Then it is all compression.

I tried to explain calmly why that couldn't be right since
we were dealing with expansion, not compression.
