Well, I saved this e-mail message since I knew he'd say something like
this. Here is exactly what Mr. Consistency said, in all its infantile
glory:

        If you've considered going into engineering I have something
        for you:
 
                        Have a nice day.
=====================================================================
        Today is St. Patrick's day. Happy Anniversary 386bsd.
 
                        HANG THE ENGINEER
                        -----------------
 
                In my younger days, through an unrelenting
        persuasion by my family, I was forced to go to school.
        Be it as it was, my decision was to be a Civil Engineer.
        Why not? Engineers made the most money, had the most prestige,
        garnered the most respect.  However, as time passed, money was no
        longer my ally. While at one time, I could have gone to MIT
        or even Stanford, my enemy -money- now the distractor of
        my goal. As such, I decide that any knowledge learned must
        be thorough.
 
                My first engineering class was the classic circle.
        The student mixture was black, white, men, women, Indian
        (from India), Irish, German, African and Hispanic.  The
        meager JC  I attended had one good prospect. It is this,
        the prospect, that will, I hope, dis-stray those of you
        still meandering in the maelstrom.
 
                My teacher, Dr. Miller, came from the Roman school
        of engineering.  It had two simple rules.  A good engineer
        got anything he wanted, regardless of cost.  A bad engineer,
        one whose bridge fell down, got hung.
                NO IFs, NO ANDs, NO ORs, NO BUTs.
 
                If the bridge falls down, Hang The Bastard.
 
                Why do I speak philosophically and technically in
                   the same breath?
 
                Because they are one and the same. Those of you that cannot
        see this are blinded by your surplus of ambition. Your meteoric
        comments have identified your complete lack of forethought and
        perception.
 
                I have been told more than once, by many people, from afar
        as well as in person, that my utterances welcome detraction and
        criticism.
 
                SO BE IT.
 
                IF I am not clearing the air of mind-stifling jargon,
        then I have accomplished nothing.  My goals are to make my FDC
        & QIC-40/80 code not only the best, bullet-proof, example to date,
        but also a tool, an instructor, an illustration, a lesson, showing         that things
        that things can be done right and well.
 
                Those of you that disagree, that think I should not
       "Hang The Engineer", have no proof that my tort is unfounded,
        your only recourse is not to be seen or heard.
 
                I will, for now, continue to "put people off"; for only
        my enemies can find my faults.  My allies will resort to
        emotional reasoning that, "they do not want to hurt my feelings".
        Well, my detractors could care less. They will be the first to
        point out my failures. They will find every fault and every
        misspelling.  Every last character will be scanned for an
        inkling of proof that I am, by all means, a moron, a dunce,
        and a fool by any perception.
 
                You are welcome to try.
 
 
                Last Thing:  As of the posting of this article, I will
                             NOT be answering my e-mail.
