     Gratified by this acknowledgement ,  snarfy adds:

     And as far as I know ,so does everyone else!

      As a member of the staff of the University's Department  of  Mechanical
    and  Aerospace  Engineering  ,you  are  to  be  commended  for  the above
    demonstration of your technical competance. Maybe you should  ask  for  a
    raise.

     When  you can't fault the article , or won't even bother to read it, why
    not sneer at the publisher? If you think degrading  someone  else's  work
    for  no  other  reason  than  your own snobbishness makes you look good ,
    think again.
