Just a thought

Whilst appreciating that one of the benefits of a group like this is to share knowledge and support others, if at all possible, I am becoming a little concerned at some of the requests for information and assistance.

Whilst no single piping engineer or designer can be an expert in everything, some of the information requested would seem to indicate that the organizations some of our members work for have absolutely no technical back up in terms of international, national or company standards. It also seems to indicate that there are no other more experienced engineers or designers within those organizations to whom these type of questions could asked in the first instance. If this is not so, presumably people are resorting to this before seeking the answer within their own organizations.

I'm not trying to restart the argument regarding manual drafting / cad. That has nothing to do with this. I am merely making the observation that many of the recent requests for help to this group ought to be answerable within the requesters own organizations.
