Isn't that all of us though? I do the layout, assembly drawing,
manuals thing--you have to--but that's the discipline. Making
impossible stuff that works is the most fun, and that's usually in the
design. (Could be in electronic, thermal, and/or mechanical design
though.)

Yep. Just completed a prototype debug, six boards. All 0603 and smaller,
such as SC-75. #3 glasses plus magnifier. Oh man. Now off to Fedex.

You're not really getting the sense of the sentence here. "I'll check

calling anyone an idiot, just experssing that that's the kind of care
he takes when checking something.

I realize that. Still don't like that style. If my wife asked me to
check her car because of a weird noise and I'd say "Ok, I'll check it
bumper to bumper as if a moron had taken it over a curb" there would be
no margaritas for the next several weeks.


That's different - she didn't _design_ the car. In a case like that,
you'd go over it with a fine-toothed comb. ;-)

Nope. After mounting a new muffler plus a new oil pan, and adjusting the
suspension you wash your hands, bandage the bleeding knuckles and tell
her "Oh, it was nothing, honey. Noise is gone."

So, IOW, some idiot _did_ drive it over a curb! ;-)

Cheers!
