I have noticed a bit of sarcasm as of late, and I guess that everyone here
has to realize that this is a forum for individuals who have an interest
that is "less than the norm".  We need to stick together and respect the
naivety of the newcomcomers, such as myself, and utilize the experience of
the educated list members and the seniority of long time coilers.  Being a
minority in regards to our interests, and considering the desires of
everyone subscribing to this list, it is a safe assumption
to say that we, engineering degree or nay, should stick together and help
each other out.  I know that I've made a few posts which may sound extremely
inapplicable and off the wall to others, what with relating to heavy truck
and diesel engine parts to possible Tesla applications, but it's that one in
a million suggestion that sometimes has relevance.  There's an old adage,
"No question is a stupid question", and what may seem trivial to one may
totally stump another.  >
