And as for your "Normal people ... believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it" quote - you wouldn't believe how much I despise that saying. How the hell are you going to find out how something ticks if you take that attitude - you have to play with things to find out what will break them.

And one last thing - I hate slow play on the golf course - that Engineer made a perfectly sensible suggestion to me .



The quote "If it ain't broke, Don't fix it" applies not to finding out how something works, but to those idjits who make changes just for the sake of making a change rather than useing their brain to see if the change is needed! I can't tell you how many times some goofball has patched a perfectly operating system, only to find out that the patch wasn't researched enough and ended up introducing fatal flaws and days of customer outage....If it ain't broke! Don't Fix it!
