No, it's not - there are plenty of people other than engineers. The problem, with the greatest respect, is the nature of the posts that Tiffy and Theron have made.
The posts, while in some ways perfectly reasonable in terms of asking questions about Typhoon and the GR4 didn't need to include the 'Granny's Guide to Sucking Eggs', replete with generalistations about the capabilities of the GR4 versus Typhoon in CAS based on the number of PWII it can carry.
When someone with over, what, 13,000 posts on here suggests that perhaps the thread is a bit spotterish, a sentiment that has already been aired by some posters, it's probably a good idea to wonder why this observation has been made and whether questions could be phrased in a more sophisticated fashion, rather than going on to ask a question about Typhoon's availability which has been answered as clearly as OPSEC will allow in the Daily Mail (FFS!)and numerous other sources, including this forum.
I doubt that many people here - aircrew, engineer, journos who have survived contact and come back for more - would object to Tiffy and Theron asking the odd question here and there to improve levels of knowledge, but just telling us what Eurofighter GMbH say that the Typhoon can hang under its wings isn't going to win people over.
The advice given to Stephen Coonts' character Jake Grafton about how to behave on first contact with people more experienced than him - 'Son, keep your mouth shut and your bowels open, and you'll do fine' works pretty well here. Along with a high banter threshold, obviously.
