Thanks Syd, but I do admit to having a sense of humor. Usually it is well 
received and even appreciated on my own web groups, where it takes the edge 
off the raw facts and figures.
There are a few thousand readers at
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/GammaSpectrometry/

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/GeigerCounterEnthusiasts/

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/HomeRadLab

where we dwell not on how important we are or how much we know about 
radiation detection, but rather HOW MUCH MORE CAN WE LEARN.

People at all levels who work in the field with radiation detection are by 
necessity equipment oriented. Not so paper-pushers and front office 
personnel. Instead they need typewriters and pencil sharpeners.  This group 
is supposed to have " several thousand radiation professionals". Makes you 
wonder why no one else picked up on the 2.22 10E6 DPS blunder of last 
Thursday? I held my tongue for 4 days before correcting it.

Yes we are scientists, geologists, med techs, miners, prospectors, 
paleontologists, oil exploration techs, scrap metal workers, you name it. 
What we have in common is dirty fingernails and Ludlum, Canberra, Wm. B 
Johnson etc. hardware.

Nucleonics is the "science and technology of nuclear energy and its 
application".  My specialty happens to be detection equipment systems and 
calibration. This year I have done over 1000 systems. I do get into the 
field as much as I can, and have in total conducted field trips to over 50 
different countries and just about every ocean.

There is a talented singer named Cindy Lauper, who talks funny, looks funny 
and dresses funny. I love her quote: "People look at me and laugh. When I 
sing, they stop laughing".


To do a global websearch of my scientific and technical papers, search

George Dowell, radiation
Geo>K0FF
or just K0FF

Don't forget that is K zero FF.
