Well, you're famous for having the right answer in the electrical

Bad idea. I jumped into sci.electronics.design with my ancient and
obsolete experience. It appears that some things have changed in the
last 20+ years. After shoving my foot firmly into my mouth several
times, I've decided that I don't really know everything. Try not to
assume that I'm always right, as I've made some rather spectacular
technical screwups. However, it appears that I know more about
management than many engineers, so I'm not a total loss.

Come to think of it, VERY FEW people have your skills.

Answering questions is easy. The real problem is that most people are
not really well versed in the art of how to ask a proper question.
Most of what I do rather well, is decoding such questions, reading
between the lines as to what this person is really trying to
accomplish, and then answering the questions they didn't ask. If I
control both the question and the answer, it's all quite easy.

You've helped
me quite a few times (under various nyms)

I wish you wouldn't do that.

Send it to a pathology lab and see what they say.

I wish I had the following 'scopes ...
a) microscope
b) oscilloscope
c) telescope

You're not getting my microscope:

I have far too many oscilloscopes. I was about to fix some of them
and put them on eBay. Make me rich and you can have one of them.

I do have a crappy 4.5" Celestron reflector with a few eyepieces that
is cluttering up my bedroom. Can't see anything through the trees and
I don't feel like freezing on some mountain top.
