You’re a elitist educational a-hole, but you’re OUR elitist educational a-hole.

lmao I do try to do my homework, but "elitist"? Really? I may be a smart guy and am not afraid of calling BS, but I'm no fan of expecting special treatment or bandying credentials. It's better to stand on what one has done in life. The maintenance mechanics and electricians in factories in which I worked didn't see it that way, seeing that as an engineer I'd do work that was too disgusting and/or brutal for them to bother with. I also laid down a very nice bead with 7018. I treated them like the factory depended upon them more than management, which it did. Sometimes I took them out to dinner when we'd worked late. So when I picked up a wrench, the union people didn't bitch because it was such a kick to work together. When I introduced a new process or piece of equipment, they adopted it like it was their own. That's why every process I introduced was successful.

Haha, you and I got into it once..sort of. We were completely in agreement with each other, but using different words to express it. I didn't take offense, and having seen you post often I can't find fault in basically anything I can remember. There are times the academe leaks out, or that may be simply the fact it's hard to read sarcasm or intent in a written post. Regardless, I think of all people on FR, you're the guy to call this tool out.
