Civil engineering. I keep the "PE" after my name to irritate a certain
troll that used to frequent the newsgroup. You never know when he might
be lurking or return for another round of verbal sparring.

I don't think the "PE" means as much in the other disciplines. In the
civil area it is a requirement in order to own a consulting firm. It
also makes it easier to become a partner in a firm or to advance to
higher salary levels.

Why, Thanks! I try to keep things as factual as I can. The Vette is and
always has been a fine performance car. But the Terminator Cobra is one of
the best Mustangs ever to come out of a Ford showroom. I'm not downing the
Vette in any way, just trying to show how far the Mustang has come. I think
it was Road & Track that just named the C6 the Best "All Around" sports car,
and I believe it. Although it placed 5th in the performance categories, it
gained allot of points in some subjective categories needed for that "All
Around" title. Maybe I'm a bit optimistic about the next Cobra, and I hope
the $helby news isn't it, but an IRS "Cobra" on the new Mustang platform
with 450+ horses will be hell of a performance bargain for under $40K.
