Wrong. And in the mornings before I've had my coffee, I get a bit resentful at the notion that the experienced people on this list are maples sitting around with spouts driven in so clueless tourists can serve syrup to their friends.

The list is a place to share experience, not someone's personal supply of free engineering advice or the URL with the list of answers to the odd-numbered problems in the back of the book. Sharing is a two-way process, an exchange, not just, 'Ooh--I have a problem, no time to research it myself--someone read my mind and bail me out.'

Now where is that damn coffee… Why are people always hiding my coffee…
