I think the people on this forum deserve a pat on the back

Many times I got to observe how that works, all the way up to the point people received company awards and recognition for work they had virtually nothing to do with

Even as an engineer I saw this happen all the time because of seniority and one-up-man-ship, not because of the individual's actual contribution to the project. I never really liked working with other engineers. It's as if their ideas are always better than yours because they went to better school or have been playing engineer longer. Oh, and in the event your idea is a good one and is accepted into the project, it's only because you got lucky. They always have to be right. Don't get me started on engineers!

Yep, he did have a Cracker Jack Engineering Degree.

But you have to have lived in the UK in the 70's to really appreciate that appalling pun!
