In the field that most of us are in, a Lousy Engineer would be one who has problems and does nothing to solve them. Engineers, on the other hand, would attempt to learn how to solve the problems. They might write something to the piclist and then carefully read the responses. Then they would evaluate the responses and try applying some of the techniques presented. A little bit at a time, they would expand their knowledge base and gradually start solving problems. From what you wrote, it looks like you are taking this path. If this is indeed so, you must hence forth abandon the name "Lousy Engineer " since it is no longer accurate. And since yahoo.com accounts are free, choose another one that is better suited to your new outlook like "Problem Solver " Believe it or not, this too, will help. Tom M.
