It stops me making a mistake that would make me look even more silly. --- End quote --- Precisely. Such attitudes engender trust in engineers - but is detrimental for politicians and religious hucksters and their ilk. |

As I have said before I had to deal with an "engineer" at a subcontractor and he was a nightmare as he was not very clever and would not take advice whilst spendiyng a lot of energy on denying things were his fault. We don't use them anymore. Our current subcontract designer whilst being very knowledgeable and experience will seek my advice particularly in areas where he knows I have experience like connectors and how easy it would be for us to make "that". I in turn seek his advice and as a result we get the best results we can and of course I am always on here asking for advico on mission impossibles. |

Frankly I'd rather have to skip over ASCII dick pics than to suffer posters vandalising threads they started, or throwing a 'I'll take my ball and go home' hissy fit by deleting all their posts as they leave the forum. Its not as if '001's nym is easy to link to their real identity, so the 'not wanting to appear foolish to work colleagues' excuse doesn't fly. @Simon, do the mods have any options here, less nuclear than restoring the post and putting '001' on a week's ban? |

Basically if someone is going to keep doing that I will just ban them. this is an adults place, children are not permitted! |
