Coytee Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Is it fair for me to presume that more than 50% of the "regulars" here might be some form of engineer (electrical probably?) or perhaps somehow currently or previously related to the electronics/sound industry? I'm just amazed at the knowledge & abilities of this crowd as a whole. Most of the stuff (when it gets technical) is so past me & my experiences that I sometimes wonder if we all live on the same planet. Obviously ONE of us (me) is clueless or has lived in a cave (I'm not sure which is worse) lol. My hat's off to all of you "in the know" and I highly commend your willingness to share & explain much of what you do... to oafs like me. I just don't see where you all learn this stuff, unless perhaps you are as inquired above, hence my question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 check SEARCH, we did one of these in the past 6 months or so. Got 100+ replies from most of the regulars. Astounding array of fields, but lots of engineers. Nothing wrong with that. Dad was a Professional Engineer (civil and architecture). As a kid, I asked him what those letters PE were for after his name. His response "potty emptier"! Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
