Tom, I always liked the quote in your signature:

Thank you sir! I added that right after we lost John Henderson. It just seemed right at the time and have never found anything worth replacing it with. :encouragement:

Hmm. That fits with....

"Ernest Rutherford used to advise his students to distrust any concept (or their command of any concept) that they could not explain to a barmaid. Leon Lederman said, 'If the basic idea is too complicated to fit on a T-shirt, it's probably wrong."​
