Thank You Mike for the nice note.

The thing I notice is the same person/people tend to stir the chit because basic posting
of valid proven engineering information seems to bother/bore them.

They want to make the posts entertaining and yet rarely is engineering "entertaining",
just hard work in college/university classes. As you know you can't change the physics.

But some can rarely post why and how engineering principals work.
So you get into the Opinions in the posts. My old boss said many times: "10,000
opinions is not worth one fact. But everyone has a right to post their opinions on a forum (even this one).

I am sure there are other Engineers out there besides Keith Seymore, (GM Engineering
42+ years, and I (Ford 39.5 years) Doing the job. Eric is an Engineer and I am sure
out of the whole PY population there are a lot more Engineers out there.

I have known a lot of Engineers who were not "Hardware People". Management Guys
who did an important job but not hardware guys.

But I am not envious of them. Everyone has a job to do.

Finally I see a lot of bored people on the board who just like to stir the chit for entertainment value.

Who would have ever thought that you could have a thread with people arguing how
and why the fuel flowed thru the gas line to the engine.

I personally have not run a mechanical fuel pump on my engines for 30 years.

I KNOW how my 450 Liter per hour EFI fuel pump feeds fuel to the engine.

PLUS these long posts improve my typing skills, LOL!

Just saying. Tom V.
