Hi Bryan,

Actually, I enjoyed your observations.  Being a 1951 baby, I grew up 
through the space race, and every space launch from Mercury, Gemini & 
Apollo was a major event and a fascination.  I suppose that the space 
program was influential in my decision to study engineering.  I don't 
know if I am a traditional engineer or not.  I am so uncool that I 
really enjoy /. too.  Once you get past the silly jokes at the beginning 
(some of which are actually quite entertaining), I often find some very 
insightful discussion (of course mixed with more silly comments).  /. 
seems to do a pretty good job of displaying the more interesting posts.
