Such a coincidence: the very first search pulls up http://www.guymacon.com/ who, technically, isn't an engineer at all. Sounds like Google actually has a rotten algorithm. More vanity and stupid web tricks. What a pretentious fathead!

Sounds like you may have some "google envy", whereas another individual

Nope, Google is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. I wrote those words because they are true, and anyone hiring me needs to know what i am excellent at and what I am poor at.

Maybe he's like Larkin, intimidated by his technical and social superiors. |

I couldn't resist taking a poke at the search engine comments in your OP, which were, I presume, in good fun .... as were mine. Frank Raffaeli http://www.aomwireless.com/ |

You're so far to the rear of where he is, technically and socially, and everyone else that you've chosen to go after, that it seems what you're looking for is a series of good whippings to atone for your excursions into stupidity and prove to yourself that you're at least worth being whipped. -- John Fields Professional Circuit Designer |

Nope, Google is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. Why do people keep harping on this inferior technology? The buzzword that makes the dictionary is supposed to be Yahoo, not Google! You don't "Google" something, you "Yahoo" it! People! Get your icons straight! Google sucks as a search engine and has always been run around circles by Yahoo. The only good use for Google is its USENET archive. |

WTF, who cares, get over it! Google Envy... That's a good one! Maybe he's like Larkin, intimidated by his technical and social superiors. That's a new one - usually only my best clients question my social and technical skills, and this guy hasn't paid me a dime! I'm not sure if he's joking, as he claims in the search engine thread, or if he really believes his own bull****. In case there is any doubt, here is one possible scenario when performing a search for the following: {dumb engineering guy} top of the list http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...ngineering+guy any serious critique, and we may {see guy flame the engineer} (also number 1) http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...the+engi neer and in case there was any doubt, we may rest assured, for we have: {proven macon is dumb} http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...+macon+is+dumb Hope this helps Frank Raffaeli http://www.aomwireless.com/ |

Guy Macon has me plonkfiled, so he doesn't have to hear any rebuttal from me. That's a hell of a way to run an engineering business - close oneself off to feedback. Oh, well. |
