Maybe you should enlighten the rest of the uninformed instead of
providing a useless smart ass response that reeks of your
'better-than-you' attitude!!
Too many PEs think they know everything. Must be part of the
mandatory training program. ...and that's sad.
I read or saw a news report not long ago that showed several hydrogen
powered cars "filling up" at a service station right in D.C. as a testament
to the technology and putting it right in the faces of those we have voted
into power. If I am not mistaken I recall the service station being a Shell
(?) for some reason. I don't remember who the manufacturer of the vehicle
was, but my money would be on either Toyota or Honda (am I allowed to say
these on the Suby group?) coming through first with it after their success
with putting hybrids on the road.
P.S. - I can still laugh at your comment about the P.E.'s even though I am
in the engineer myself, civil actually, and know what you mean. There are
definitely some "Doogie Howsers" that are quick to make sure that you know
they are "better-than-you". On the other hand, there are plenty that are
pretty subdued. Unless Mr. Perry had reason to put the "P.E." at the end of
his name, like in an official correspondence, I personally think there's no
need to add it except to show that "attitude" - this *is* a news group and
not technical memos.
