People who pretend to be engineers are tiring.
Hmmm... I'm not tired. Therefore, I must be an engineer.
You have already told us that you only rarely ride a bicycle anymore
That's mostly correct. What I actually said before you twisted the
meaning is that I am no longer able to properly ride a bicycle. If
you want, I can explain the medical problem that created this
situation. I still have two bicycles, which I occasionally ride short
distances.
so perhaps you might want to explain what you're even doing on this group?
Perhaps? That suggests that I can perhaps choose not to explain. So,
I won't explain because you don't need to know and I don't feel like
justifying my presence.

However, I can offer you a fair trade. I'll answer your question if
you explain why you reply to every single thread, statement, question,
and comment in R.B.T. I believe that I understand the motivations for
your other odd habits, but the need to add your uninformed and
unsubstantiated opinion to every discussion has me mystified. Why?

You probably don't trust me to provide a genuine answer to your
question, so I'll go first if you agree to answer my question in a
similar manner. Deal?

You have also chosen not to explain what in the hell you know about digital engineering, embedded systems and programming so that you could explain what I didn't know. Instead like an English teacher you've chosen to pick my resume apart for its spelling errors and not the thousands of human lives I've saved.

You are the one that decided to insert yourself into this discussion after that moron Frank chose to tell everyone I was lying about hitting a tree branch because he could find street pictures of that area only 5 years old. So don't pretend that you have ever had any effect on the world around you because I've spent my life doing just that whether it was volunteering for the Air Force or being part of the construction of the world's largest time sharing computer of the time. The job I had before the concussion was designing and programming devices for the detection and treatment of Cancer. Did your radios help that? Half of this scientific world has been changed by the things I have done. And I have a right to be proud of that.

Of course we could always go with Jay's idea that if I designed anything of value I would have a patent on it. Elon Musk doesn't have any patents but I should. Charley Button owns no patents of his intercoms and radios but I should. I have never even heard of a development engineer owning a patent but dollars to dimes Jay could find one.

If you want to be a part of a discussion talk about things you know and not for the reason that you want to complain about how badly I treat you after you started it.
