Its OK VN, I have to smack my engineer Father every once in a while too.
Oh, that really hurts coming from "Mr. I can't wire a 110 circuit" or "I just blew 4 quarts of oil on my garage floor!"
Folks want to have a geeky friend around when they need one, but don't want to admit that in public.
People need to respect engineers more!! Engineers, geeks, and nerds arise!
