In my opinion...

[beemandan]

those two engineers are both here, prominent posters on Beesource. Their writings and attitudes, to each other and the rest of the world leave no doubt at all, it's them! . LOL!

I hadn't thought about it but now that you mention it.....I think I know exactly who you are referring to....

[Joes_bees]

Now I just want to do an engineering role call.

Well actually, after they irradiated the brain tumor, my communication and social skills have improved. I don't remember how to do integrals and derivatives any more though. But then again, I am a biologist, not a mechanical engineer. Although, if someone could explain to me how magnets/electricity works, I would really appreciate it.

Permanent magnets or electromagnets?

If you learned calculus some time in the past, it comes back to you pretty fast if you review it. I don't use integrals or derivatives in my line of work so it's been a few decades since I did them. I know of a young lady who is currently taking high school calculus and she's been calling me when she's stuck, so I'm having to relearn it. It's been coming back very fast so I've been able to get her unstuck on all her questions so far.

I'm not a biologist, but a long time ago I was a chemist with a heavy dose of biology thrown in.

Actually IMHO, I think this means that 99 percent of the people posting on Beesource are engineeers, because just about everyone of us is arguing with Ace.

With close to 1/2 million members on beesource I wouldn't have time to read all their posts to argue, maybe you do.
Oh that's right you are one of those engineer types that don't understand logic. Sorry, I can't communicate with you.

Engineers I know are more careful with their decimal points.

[Solomon Parker]

Saw that.

[Oldtimer]

And... Here they are. Get ready to duck!

Please explain, I went to the members list and found 30 listed on a page and 16332 pages. About 489960 members was close enough to 1/2 million. Do you come up with a different number?

[cg3]

But they do tend to think about things too hard.

Did you stop to consider that a lot of those people are no longer active on Beesource and that there are currently many more lurkers than posters, IMHO.

IOW (In other words), only active posters since about March 2011 are arguing with you Ace.

Your number is way off (FACT) probably by a couple of orders of magnitude (IMHO).

I havent had a chance to use this yet, but....

I once fought with 2 people and it seemed like ten.

[Nabber86]

I once fought with 2 people and it seemed like ten.

And then I must ask....

Would you rather fight 1 horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses?

[Joes_bees]

I went to school for engineering. However that's not the direction my career took after college. I guess I got weeded out by Ace's standards :/ ... but I'm glad my communication skills and my logic skills are balanced enough to get cg3's joke.

There are 16332 registered user names.

You're very careless with reading or math, or something....

[Joes_bees]

Now we just need an English major to point out differences between your and you're and we'll have ourselves a 5 star thread.

Oh, a minute too late...

[cg3]

and we'll have ourselves a 5 star thread.

My Industrial and Marine Engineering experience hasn't effected my ability to recognize typos and grammatical errors ...

I don't have all the grammars either.
I wouldn't have had the guts to use effected in a sentence.
