    The thing is, he posts like a smug know-it-all and refers to his own
    clubmates as "simpletons". They probably have pet names for him, too.

    Some do. I still was voted to our board repeatedly and repeatedly
    asked to run for president of my club.

    So was G.W. Bush. Your point?

    FWIW, I was elected vice president, president, & trustee of my club.
    And asked to deliver talks on many subjects, including safety. Rather
    than "smug know-it-all" they seem to regard me as a guy who knows a lot
    and explains it well. At least, that's what they tell me.

    And unlike GWBush, I actually got more votes than my opponents!

    That I have a lot of supporters in my club.

    As does G.W. Bush in his. (Cheney, too.) Your point?

    I know the terms "smug" and "know-it-all" may have confused you, Frank,
    but neither Bill S. nor I were referring to you.

    Sorni was saying that people in my club call me names, probably
    insults. I was responding to that by saying that nonetheless I have a
    lot of supporters in my club.

    I know you weren't at the moment, but you (and Sorni) were using the
    same sort of language about me earlier.

    Perhaps if you took notes...

    ....you could wipe your ass with the notes? But only after a careful
    study of the best bumwad. Soft, yet efficient, no statistical
    dingleberries, and available at the right price. Only an engineer can
    have an intelligent bumwad POV...

    Dear Ozark,

    The men's room is down the hall to your left.

    Please use its walls, not the newsgroup.

    Cheers,
