I understand people sometimes forget to turn off or use turn signals. But I do yell "@# hole it's a stop sign" when I see so many vehicles not stopping!

Someone trying to be helpful automatically draws suspicion that they are from the Midwest or Canada.

however, posters should actually sit back and wonder why the poster believes his/her posts. . . and then maybe the poster has some expertise/career experience somewhere the reader doesn't have. . or maybe . . .

I was just having a bad day and can't take it out on the wife nor kick the cats. . .
sorry readers . . .

At the upper levels of Math and Physics there IS disagreement and opinions.
