Let me sum up your understanding of wire
technology then.

Metallurgy = Metallurgy
Dielectrics = Dielectrics
Geometry = Geometry
Connectors = Connectors
------------------------------
Therefore Wire = Wire

Not at all, Powell.

All of these things matter, depending on the situation.

Your qualification is a little late, don't you
think?

In Powell world, they matter regardless.

True. Regardless if I pay $10 - 200 per foot.

Oh, I get it - you're into spending the big bucks on
status symbols.

Hey, I live in a community that prizes status symbols -
houses, cars, boats, degrees, club memberships. I get
that.

Degrees are status symbols?

Of course.

Warning! Warning! The turnip truck is coming through town! ;-)

However, it hasn't kept any of my family from getting one or more. For us
they are an unintended consequence of learning useful stuff.

Wow. I've never known of anyone who has gone through the work of
getting a degree simply to have a status symbol.

Well, given Arny's need to feel superior to everybody else in every aspect
of his life, how else is he going to do it with other people with degrees
(including many with Masters or PhD's) unless all those people did it for
the status, while HE did it to learn?

LOL.
