My phase 90 clone isn't working

If you arent going to share knowledge or help newcomers you have no business being here.

And you're speaking on behalf of "here"..??

P.S.
"Rudeness" definitely is personal taste mater..
I'd define it using your very personal instance..

+1 to support my friends Stephen and Antonis and the others supposedly "taking the piss" in this and snow's other threads from this period.

Seldom in life have I seen such dogged determination in the face of all obstacles — doggedly determined both to continue asking for advice to solve their problems as well as to ignore or misconstrue almost every single piece of that well-intentioned and painstakingly-communicated advice which well might have solved the problem, had snow followed it accurately and/or reported the whole situation fully and accurately to begin with. We have all been beginners once, and I have great empathy for those starting out on this difficult journey (and though I started many decades ago, I'm not very far along myself, and so I too am but a beginner); but some people stubbornly refuse to be taught. The fact that snow has never lashed out or otherwise seemed injured or offended in turn, as duck points out, is actually something just short of miraculous and deserves to be at least acknowledged (if not exactly full-throatedly commended).

As someone with fairly severe lifelong difficulties with both comprehending and communicating in a straightforward, unambiguous manner (part of my rather diffident and overly-pretentious writing style is due to overcompensating for this), I can recognise when I've been bested. Snow123, my hat's off to you. This thread is a masterclass for the ages.

(My understanding is that snow's gotten slightly better since these dark days, but I've tended to avoid those threads since then, if for no other reason other than to save what little is left of my sanity. 

Also, I just utterly destroyed a recent vero attempt — possibly the worst soldering job I've ever done in over 35 years of trying — and was/am far too embarrassed at how badly I mucked it up, to the degree that, rather than ask for help here, I'm resigned to just pulling all of the components off of it that I can, chucking it in the skip and starting over some other — ANY other — way, even if I have to do it point-to-point. It worked great on the breadboard, of course. Vero can be a total tar baby sinkhole pit of doom...)

Well said. Drinks for Snow123 and all those who have contributed to the Snow's success!

Seldom in life have I seen such dogged determination in the face of all obstacles —

Here here. I have often wondered if 123 is some kind of bot... but in the end I have come to believe in their humanity. Why, I'm not sure.

Word. Here's to life's little miracles.
