Everyone Introduce yourself

Politely said, Del.

My boss, who lives in Colorado, of all places, has been here (from Liverpool) in the colonies for many years, but he still speaks like he just got off the boat. We call it The Queen's English.

This forum has a user count in the hundreds - if not thousands if you count those who pass through but never register. I'm sure the Masters could provide better numbers.

Take Del's advice, rather than swamp the board with answers; use the Profile pages.

Love it!

what a great introduction to you!

I tried to give you a GA.. but had to give you a non-off-topic instead.

Hello Milo,

Well I never knew you had such gracious words in you..........!

GA to you my friend!

The gracious words were from Nietszche I can report. The rest of them were mine.

See Thread "What is behind your Avatar".

Hello gsuhas:

I hope you are fine?......Do you not think this is a good way of introduction? I think so.

Take care and have a great new year!...............

Hi, omer!

First of all, a great big WELCOME to CR4! I hope you have fun in here, sharing comments and views with fellow professionals in dozens of engineering disciplines. This is truly a unique place to share your ideas.

Because many of us have been around for a while, it would be quite a job for us to introduce ourselves to each new member of the site. So you will meet with some reluctance from those of us who are registered members as well as some others who chime in from time to time in order to offer some interesting thoughts without actually joining.

You can find out about most of us simply by clicking on our names or the little "interest & hobby" icons below the names where we have included some brief background information. In addition, there are two other sites (at least!) in here, where you can learn about many of your CR4 fellow members. These are this thread, and this one. Just click on either (or both!) of <--- these links.

Enjoy! Hope to see your contributions to the articles your will find on your email inbox on an almost daily basis.

Mark

thankyou very much mark......

This is PARITOSH. I am Production Executive(Plastic Div) at Emirates Refining Company, a group company of IFFCO GROUP.

I AM THE GREAT AND WONDEFUL OZ!

Hello Omer,

Conversation takes rapport. As it stands you know more about most of us (have access to more info than you give) than we know about you. This is acceptable but is not the fast track to communication and "as we will be able to know each other a little bit more"

As you have seen we are a very eclectic group of people/engineers who like to build and design. We try to be tolerant and some some are more than others. This varies by subject by person.

We like to joke but try not to be offensive, but sometimes one mans mirth is another's soft spot. So take comments with or off topic with a grain of salt and some not so marked the same way.

Personally I am a design engineer that likes to build and make what I can design. (never enough time for this) I study Law and welding, Have many interests and quirks. I want to be out doing right now but it is to cold to get my water based cutting lubricant to stay in its liquid form. And my quench barrel at my Blacksmith forge is of the same mind.

Welcome to CR4 Omer and Assalam Alekum.

Click on the Avtar and you will get introduced yourself but better, as you go along contributing or even just reading you will come across a great numbers and numbers of CR4 friends and excellent engineers (like : Del the Cat, Milo, Vulcan, Spiky, Abdel Halem Galala, Guest, Mark etc. etc. etc....... I apologise for the list is tooooo.. long) who come along to help and guide you in any (repeat any) query(s). With time you get to know their strength (exception: Guest, Del, Spiky etc...again the list is toooo ...long for, surprisingly that they know much toooo.. much). Its interesting for each members contribution keeps increasing your knowledge drop by drop - the best part, you never overflow..

Me , personally on knowledge = a small "puddle" but, no problem - i have over hundreds of friends in CR4 who to me are "Oceans" and I will NEVER run Dry till I live.

My utmost RESPECT to all CR4 Members. and aplogise again for not mentioning everybody's name.

Walekum asalam......Ducon....... :)

I don't know whether somebody has observed, I kept the origin of my species hidden for more than a year, deliberately.

When as an engineer I want to help, or comment, I will like to be as objective as possible. Sometimes my judgment may be affected (especially under current condition say India Vs Pakistan, Israel Vs Gulf etc) and politics may creep into our field.

Most of the industrial activities, to which we belong, are same throughout our field. As I believe are the safety norms. So if the pump in phenol line (current thread) has a safety problem, it is everywhere. The differences in the safety norms are created by local politics and not by the engineers. So sitting here we can provide our insight to the correspondent and guide him.

We get our feelings (and bondages) through the posts we see (by the way why del has the traces of nut ? I always thought it is the prerogative of squirrel or del had kris in his breakfast, did you ?)

I always felt that people with several nuts lose better remain unknown, else somebody will try to tighten them, and we will lose our identity.

PS: did you really mean eclectic (or you mistyped eccentric?)

Hello sb,

Eclectic from every path with the common denominator of engineering.

Brad

Eclectic

Selecting; choosing (what is true or excellent in doctrines, opinions, etc.) from various sources or systems; as, an eclectic philosopher.

Consisting, or made up, of what is chosen or selected; as, an eclectic method; an eclectic magazine.

One who follows an eclectic method.

I'm giving you a non-off-topic..

because these philosophical things define us.. make us who we are.. separate us from the crowd. and of course, I think your right on the mark!

Chris

Uh hmmm. Not to be a stickler but...

cite your source please.

Vancouver, CANADA.

Hello sb,

Just to say I like your post. A true post is and always will be a true post

Take care my friend........

hello omer this is sivamurugan near dindigul

Hi Omer,

Welcome aboard.

I think most of my information is on my profile page.

I often think it would be great if more people put some information on their profiles to help others out. A small description of their background and the areas the specialize in would be of enormous help at times.

Kind Regards

Kev

thanks kev......

regards

Omer.

Greetings from New York. Now go "introduce" yourself.

Hahahahaa!

Hello omer,

I welcome you! It is a great site and there is some real talented and clever people here. Excluding myself!................I am babybear.

I hope you enjoy your time here and perhaps tell others about the site.

I am mainly on the Mechanical Engineers part, but you can reply to any thread and then you may be on Engineers, Electronics and other types of 'Engineering'. They often over-lap skills anyway.

Good luck and you started in the right way, by saying hello!

Have a great new year.............................

thanks babybear.......

you too have a happy new year.....

Regards

Omer

Hi, babybear!

"there is some real talented and clever people here. Excluding myself!"

Not nice, babybear! Trying to slip one over on ol' omer, a new guy.

Don't pay any attention to bb, omer. Anyone on this site will tell you that bb's one of our bright lights in here, and that self-deprecation is just one typical means of bb's camouflage.

In fact, if you see a comment by bb in any of the blogs, read it to find out who babybear really is. No further intro will be necessary.

Shame on you, bb...trying to pull that kind of stuff on the new guy!

Mark

so far i'm really enjoying to be a part of cr4.....

Hello omer,

so far i'm really enjoying to be a part of cr4.....

You ain seen nothin yet!........You wait 'til we get our pick and shovels out. ........Perhaps that should be Micrometres and "Understanding Engineering Standards For All" Encyclopedia out?

Take care...............

Hello Mark,

Oh bum!, You found me out!.........Appreciate your kind words my friend! I know I am a brilliant genius but, it is just not done to say so publicly is it? I can also spele right an al!

Take care my clever frind!............

Hi Omer - Welcome to CR4. - Larry

hi larry

good to see you too.....:)

i hope we all remain in touch .....tc

bye.....

thankyou very much larry......nice to meet you

Like my bio says, I make food, art, and spaceships.

Welcome to my world!

Greetings, Omer!

I guess you've seen by now that comments on CR4 run from the nice to the naughty to the nutty, and sometimes they can be any combination of those.

BTW, I'm one of the few here who is not a professional engineer. I am a drafter, and most of the images I use as avatars are things I drew up in AutoCAD or Inventor. I'm also a ham radio operator who has played with antenna designs. I built one of my designs, but it was just a rough prototype made of wire supported by a PVC frame, and I have used it in some radio direction finding exercises. I have also worked on a design of an anemometer because I have a long standing interest in weather. Working on the anemometer brought me to CR4 when I went to look for a bearing through GlobalSpec, signed up for one of their newsletters, and got drawn in by a Challenge Question. I guess you could say I'm an amateur engineer.

You don't have to be crazy to hang out on CR4, but it sure helps!
