I just checked, and he said "I don't recall a tweak that we haven't tried in some fashion." Which would have seemed believable to me even if I hadn't heard tales of Jim Winey's tinkering. I mean, they've had 42 years to design these things, I'd be amazed if they hadn't tried bypassing fuses and separating drivers. But Wendell said "in some fashion" and I took that to mean that he hasn't tried exactly the same components and configurations we have here.

But -- was there something a bit patronizing about what he said? I think so. But I think that's because, whatever we do in our day jobs, when it comes to Maggies, most of us here are amateurs, and he's a pro. He isn't trying to be snotty, he's trying not to be, but the reality is that our suggestions must sound pretty naive to someone who does this 40 hours a week. Not necessarily *wrong*, but haven't you ever had people come up to you and earnestly make suggestions or speculations about your own profession that were naive because you already knew them?

I get that and hear it myself all the time as well. But he also has the opportunity to read and see what we've done here for years, so he should know better. Many people here have made significant contributions and you'd think he'd be aware of that. Obviously he is not, so in truth they don't care what we think or do, which is why his note came across like it did, as if he was speaking to a crowd at best buy.

It's all about the music...

  I had more the impression that he sees tweaking the way a car manufacturer would see a kid hot rodding one of their cars. Fun, sure, and it makes the car go faster, but it's not something they can use in the mainstream production versions. And since he's working six days a week trying to get the new models out, it's not something he has time to deal with.
