Normally, to people like Fred D who are obsessivley
compelled to post hateful pseudo-political spew here, I'd
say "get a boat."
Boats are far worse gas guzzlers than Hummers.
That's why I asked you what kind of work you do.
What do you do? Put up or shut up.

I'm an inventory analyst for a grocery wholesaler. Your turn.

I am a Principal Development Engineer for a large hardware and software
vendor.




Impossible. I don't believe it.


Doug,
This is the reason it is silly to ask "what does someone do" or even
sillier to respond to questions concerning this or any other personal
info. Normally the response only fuels the flames of personal
disagreements and does nothing to support one's position on an issue.

Agreed.

On the internet, everybody is rich & good-looking.
On the internet, almost everybody is an engineer, including
me (and yes, I have in fact driven a train but it's not my
day job).

You know all those trains you see around? I built them.

I was a 'Combat Engineer' in the Army. Does that count for anything? I know
how to lay a minefield! I really love blowing up things - bridges,
buildings, whatever, as long as there's plenty of C4 to do it with.

Great!
I think I'm gonna get a T-shirt printed up with the slogan:

"On the Internet, everybody is rich & good-looking.
"On the Internet, everybody is an engineer."

I'd like to have a T-shirt with this cartoon but it's
copyrighted.
