I'm fairly certain that plubming tech. doesn't change anywhere near as quickly as our industry. :) IMHO, with dr's and lawyers, their industries are at this point so hopelessly inundated with an over-abundance of information ( most of it bad information ) that separating the wheat from the shaff in order to figure out what is good and useful information and hone their skills is a losing battle. As I see it, technology in general is headed that direction also.
