My=20 question is, "How do you know he is a font of knowledge?" Because, he=20 sticks copyright on some half-thought out ideas that are drawn up nicely = in AutoCAD? Because he is good at using a 3D CAD package? Because he=20 has brought several well thought out, well tested ideas to the community = that have increased safety or decreased cost? Because he argues=20 tactfully and logically, developing a following through intelligent=20 discussion? I was on his list for about a week before I 'resigned'. He bounced my=20 post, ostensibly because I didn't sign them. All my posts carried my=20 signature (this one may not. I've not finished configuring my work=20 account). Not only that, but every email list software I've ever seen=20 will carry the email address of the sender. For some reason, "that guy" = doesn't want his sheep to communicate. Funny, but the message he balked = at had a list of data that clearly refuted some brain-dead claim he was=20 making. It's easy to look knowledgeable when no one is allowed to=20 disagree with you.
