Maybe this will help. Me, I don't care much about scientific mumbo jumbo much as I am a bit simple for all that. I do understand plain English and would like to think that I have an above average amount of common sense. It does not take much for me personally to get your piont, Frank because I have no agenda other that trying to learn as much as possible about how to better provide for my monitors that they may be monitors, ha ha if that makes any sense. So I can see the whole post rather that only the things I want to see because really I am not in a position to have an opinion or become offended unduly. I read most all threads on this and a few other fora and I gather what I can use and forget the rest.



I am a but a humble carpenter, heh heh. If one asks me for a job, I return the question with a question of my own "What can you do?" If the prospect replies, "I can build a house." or "Whatever you want me to do." I will more than likely hire them if I am in need of a body at that time. If the prospect answers my question with the statement "I went to trade school for carpentry", I pretty much have already made up my mind that the answer is a big fat "NO,I am not looking for anyone right now."



Every time I have hired one of these kids It has been the same. They want an experienced man's wage for book "knowledge" that is not applicable on the jobsite. They do not learn easily since they think they already know everything from studying the books and building a few sheds in the school parking lot, heh heh. The preconcieved notions they have lend themselves to selective hearing and voluntary blindness, ha ha ha.
