Okiedo - "Now for the small minority of readers on this message board who don't know their Anode from their Cathode, you are the ones I want to reach with this post.  My intent is not only to praise the ongoing sagaciousness of Dave (Outtahere), but to point out to you that as a card carrying member of the TU (Technically UNWASHED) I might not know my Anode from my Cathode, but I do know that the article that Dave provided the link to is phenomonal in how it turns on the light switch for those of us who flunked Physics 101, never gave a second thought about taking a Physics class, use the volume control on our car radio to blast out the noise or our car's failing engine or decided to take Football Theory or Sociology 101 instead of Physics for personal reasons and in compatability with our limited acuity and ability in the realm of truly challenging academics.  We excelled in "How to get a BS degree without really trying" and some of us were lucky just to graduate from High School."

Dude, that was hilarious.  Thank you.  This describes me perfectly.  I'm sure it describes others as well.  I never took Physics, my BS degree was achieved primarily through BS, and I certainly don't understand FJ's commentary (though I respect and appreciate it).

The irony is that my inability (unwillingness?) to deeply understand the tech has provided me the time and mental capacity to focus on business and relationships, and through this understanding I became a pretty good business person, a multi-millionaire, and, thanks to Dave and the input of many tech folks on this forum, a heavy investor in POET.  I'm making a lot of money now.  But I enjoy the daily Agoracom reading as much as I do the stock chart and my bank account.  

Awesome post.  This is fun.
