With Tony et al as my inspiration, I have recently started to learn
electronics. I've been at it a couple of days, and tonight I just had the
"aha!" for how high-pass and low-pass filters work. I haven't come across
anything yet that has me completely stumped, but if I do, is it appropriate
to ask newbie questions about electronics here?
I'm supposed to *answer* questions like that, but I just don't know.
Typically, I call electronics conversations as on-topic because they are
directly relevant to operating classic computers. Newbie questions, however,
are more indirect. For another example, we'll help someone with a Windows
program that somehow makes his/her classiccmp go, but I doubt we'll bother
to teach a person in-list how to double-click. Is electronics any different?
