--- Quote ---The answer to it is to refuse to do it. You are an engineer not a teacher. If the "new" engineer wants to learn then go to Uni like the rest of us did. --- End quote --- Thanks, all the millstones i saw were Electronics graduates, even new Masters graduates, or even PhD's. --- Quote ---FTTS is a millstone --- End quote --- --- Quote ---aren't you doing something quite similar here from time to time? --- End quote --- Thanks, but online Millstones can be ignored, unlike the real company Millstone, that the Company owner handcuffs to you. |

What do you mean by Millstoning? Does it mean to roll one of these along? |

But AFAIK it's not a common usage (and I would be mega-surprised if it were particularly relevant to SMPS), so I wonder if you've got a bet somewhere that you can get some obscure term to propagate around t'web. --- End quote --- Yep. I can’t even find reference to this usage. Not in a dictionary, not on web searches… if it is an existing usage, it’s an extremely obscure one. Not that it matters since the post itself is nonsense anyway. |

Millstoning, i assure you, is very real. |
