It takes one heck of a foolish, arrogant business administration major who
by his own admission spent most of his time high, to claim that a graduate
engineer doesn't know what a filter is.

The class of engineers that I graduated with in 1972 was about 200 people,
only one of which was a ham.

AFAIK, none of the engineering profs had ever been hams.

We frequently run into people on RAP that have never soldered.

Modern engineering students spend a lot of time on computer circuit
simulators. In my days, we used a lot of math for circuit analysis, but
rarely if ever actually built the circuits.

Trust George to be ignorant of that fact. But no matter, Geoerge will tell
any lie, make up any falsehood to attack me and many others. For example,
consider his frequent lies that I'm a pedophile. George fits the profile
of
a pedophile far better than I.
