Sorry Dave, it just hit a raw nerve... :0)
I pride myself in being an engineer although of course my qualifications say
I am a scientist. I practice good engineering discipline over my work, and
guard the use of the term software engineer by those who do indeed engineer
software, as opposed to those who simply code / program.
My reaction was too strong as I sort of knew it was just tongue in cheek,
but my ire was raised...
Regards,

I am not arguing that. My statement was tongue-in-cheek (or foot-in-mouth
perhaps). I've done both hardware and software and by now you probably
know which I prefer...
Cheers,
