Well thats a little more than two cents. Maybe he has and he's referring to personal experience as well or maybe he's talking about a friends personal experience. My major concern about this thread is watching it getting nippy replies which is why i went back and reposted my own original statement. Anyhew give him a chance maybe he has ground to stand on! Same goes to Ryan, it's fine to express an idea but do it in a way that others will give your message a chance. This needs to be a discussion of ideas and whether or not we agree with ideas we should still respect peoples right to have them and express them. How else can we change our own beliefs and evolve as engineers as well as people?
