Glen-
Along with finding an esteemed colleague worth following right away, I
found this wonderful nugget buried away deep in the archives:
Answers that used to be on this list but which have been deleted:
* 11 votes: Glen Ropella <http://www.quora.com/Glen-Ropella>'s answer
to What is the difference between a "tool" and a "douchebag"?
<http://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-a-tool-and-a-douchebag>
--- "A douchebag is a specific tool for a specific use. Tools are
more generally useful."
It was a wonderfully Glen Ropella-styled answer!
Neither of these terms (as used here) are part of my regular vernacular,
yet somehow you managed to tease out the essence of both terms in this
context quite well!
