Aamos,  I LOVE click and click / cartalk,  with their PHD's (at least one of them is a chemistry PHD, maybe both?)  (I loved chemistry, but I am no where near a PHD) they are a LOT smarter than I am.    still, with my background, on rare occasions find them making fundamental errors in my  field.  (steam and diesel power generation is the best way I can describe my field)  makes my day

Ribs:

Really glad you could get your Maniac friend in.  If we don't find a way for a big get together I will be hugely disappointed .,
