Joe, (and everyone in general)-

As I'm sure many of you have figured out... I haven't been around these forums too long, I'm not a practicing engineer, and I have a BOATLOAD of opinions. This could typically make what would a rather... frighting sort of poster. Perhaps I am.

As a general heads up... a lot of time I'll close off my posts with some sort of little "twang". Perhaps this comes off a little more cocky than I mean it to be, but I've noticed that people (often the most qualified) tend to "bite" on those sorts of thing, which is the reason I do it. Though some people like to read posts where people state the obvious and mumble about how there's exceptions to every rule, I like to make sure that people DO list the exceptions, DO tell how things work in the real world, and DO explain the how's and whys.

To maybe make the case... I love to have a bold general opinions that others can shoot down with exceptions. Some of the best threads I've participated in so far were because I stuck my neck out and held up generalizations as truths, just to see what people would say.

And looking back, I definitely came across pretty arrogant on this thread, and I apologize if I came across rude to Veselin or Cory or anyone else who read it.

Let the great exchanges continue.

Matt
