Hi Mike
Olin is one of these types that never miss an opportunity to put some one
down so everyone can see how brilliant he is....
It is obvious that Olin is a very smart guy but his behavior screams
insecurity to the roof tops.
Apparently how much smarter he is than the riff raff is all he has ever had
and ever will without it there is nothing else.
It reminds me of the raging beauty queen that can't leave the house with out
being completely made up because after all with out her looks she knows
better than anyone that there is nothing there.
Frankly with a guy like him for a mentor I'd rather drive a truck.
No wonder there are so few young guys/girls that want to become engineers
there are too many Olins out there polishing our image[s].
Phillip

Olin, you have not to be so hard on that guy. Recall, at the beginning
of EE career how important was to get an encouraging friendly advice,
not just a hostile message on "too much drivel in there". The guy
clearly said "thank you, I don't know how, but I'm trying."
He isn't a thief, cheater or anyone like that. He is trying to become
EE. He is to belong to our EE guild. Let's try to be friendly at least
inside the guild; life's cruel enough out there.

You might wish to demonstrate how you would compose the message the right
way.

Thank you,
