Engineers and scientists look at the whole world through a technical prism; they know no other way; they don't grok normalcy. As I'm someone with a technical background I'd just like to point out here that while many techie guys are like that, not all are. For myself I find it enjoyable to engage in educating those without the technical chops when they're open to it (which isn't always the case). sandyk and Audiophile Neuroscience 1 1 Link to comment

Hi Alex - I take it that the scare quotes around the word 'educating' imply preaching rather than responding to a person's natural curiosity? In which case of course I agree. sandyk 1 Link to comment
