[QUOTE="69ST, post: 33968, member: 5"] Point(s) taken, now let's try to reel this thread back in. [LIST] [*]It wasn't a shot at your expertise, but rather knocking the piss out of yet another acronym. In the current dumbed-down era of sound bytes, cliche'-of-the-week and other ostensible "shortcuts" that end up [I]supplanting[/I] independent thought, they confuse more than clarify. You know your stuff and deal at the engineering & OEM level. Being a lifelong resident of what's becoming the graveyard of the domestic auto industry, I've been afforded access to a wealth (embarrassment of riches, more like) of the same kind of talent, plus insider information for decades. Most people, being outside that loop, are left in the dark to some extent. The average person might not even suspect that a 3 dollar PRC-made bearing, with the same quality assurance acronyms affixed, is asking for trouble.
