I guess this is kind of usual in such internet forums where you cross multiple nationalities all trying to speak english and collaborate on ideas of very specific nature
I think one should take it easy if going to such places in any case, as this is internet and you cannot do without misunderstandings from times to times
besides that, 4hv.org is one of the (very) rare place where I have seen so little fuss and so little drama, and where most of the people are managing to stay young in their minds and keep dreaming

Don't worry too much, Andy old pal. I don't think you've been bothering or offending people here. You strike me as someone now learning to dig into the details of your high-flying ideas. And who might have a spelling or typing disability, not often causing miscommunication.
There are places in the real world where apparently sloppy spelling might handicap you, fairly or not. In your case I bet the solution is not as simple as getting a real keyboard.

You have been starting a lot of short texted threads lately, maybe it was better to make one thread where there is a good description of what you are trying to achieve.
Instead you have spread it all over the forum with questions for what seems like a submarine vehicle. It is confusing and not easy for others to help you from isolated specific problems when you have it all in your head and never told its complete context.

I second Mads' recommendation, try to keep everything in one thread so that everything can be put into context. Replying to a question about a circuit is difficult, without knowing what the circuit is for and what it is supposed to do.
Your circuits and drawings show some fundamental holes in your understanding of physics and electronics. Not to worry though, this is easy to fix when you are aware of it. When something doesn't work, try to understand why. When you hit a wall in your understanding, do some research and try to learn new things.
The worst thing you can do is to just discard a circuit or an idea when it doesn't work, without trying to understand why. If somebody tells you that something will not work, try to figure out why, instead of just doing something completely different.
Be careful about giving other people advice unless you are certain that you are correct. Giving bad advice to others can be downright dangerous. When advising others, google around a bit to make sure that you're correct. Citing references for your statements can be a good idea, and it generally makes you seem more credible. This doesn't only apply to you of course, the forum would be a nicer place if everybody did this.
I shouldnt be posting at those times, but sometimes times it helps to have a carney in the coal mine, so to speak, with regards to personal issues, anyway sorry.
I think you mean " a Canary in the coal mine" , a Carney just makes things worse.
