In the 1980's I had the opportunity to design spacecraft gear which had to be rad-hard (in the proper sense), and some years later I was designing industrial/consumer gear which had to meet FCC high-voltage discharge (ESD) susceptibility requirements. In my earlier comment I conflated the two categories, which was incorrect, and I thank you for calling me on it.

I am impressed by your character and passion for truth. You've made my day. What a rare privilege it is to shared bandwidth. :)

Aw, shucks, thanks for the kind words.

I have a lot of respect for my fellow FReepers and I wouldn't want to mislead anybody. Granted it's "just" an internet forum, but FR and Conservatives in general have high standards, and I'm proud to be part of that community.

As for a "passion for truth", well, being an electronics/computer engineer gives you lots of opportunities to find out just how bad things get when you are going down the wrong path. :-)

Thank you again, and have a great rest-of-the-day!
