Harvey, I had NO idea there was such a thing as "Go Tigers" but simply picked some name which seemed likely to be a basketball team. Or maybe a golf team. Maybe I have a natural bent for sports after all. Anyway, nobody knows what LSU is, so how about not using acronyms on the silly, blue collar thread. Actually, I guess you've noticed that all the best people wear blue collars these days. Not with "Power Yellow" ties though, which are for technically illiterate MBA [Management Bull Artists] types and occasional PhD researcher who has become frustrated with low pay and status in the labs and traded in their useful occupations for red braces, expense account, yellow tie and gone if for crude oil trading [or whatever the electronics equivalent is]. There was in Sohio [to stay off topic and in the spirit of the thread] a guy who was a genuine zeolite research scientist who might well have come up with a single step process from methane [natural gas] to gasoline. He became a crude oil trader, with all the perks, salary and expense accounts that involved. A quite useless occupation by comparison, but who can blame him. Similarly, we read about how Irwin should have charisma [and presumably braces, yellow tie and all that stuff]. Personally, I think that boring engineering gray is fine. The hot shot string of pearls marketing drivel from Ericy hasn't been as successful as Mighty Q! I like Irwin the Younger's "Go Brain Go". Mqurice
