RIP mechelecengr

tst suggested I change my name, and I finally have. The other day, someone pronounced it "Michelle" like the girl's name, and that was the last straw. I guess it's just too much of a stretch for people to realize it's Mechanical/Electrical Engineer.

 

So, I'll leave mechelecengr in parentheses after my profile name for several weeks, and eventually take it off.

 

Cheers all,

Jack Dunaway

Well, you could have gone with my suggestion of M.E. Eng (or "Jordan" 😉 ), but the current version is also more readable than the former.

Why does you new name remind me of Chinatown? Where's Faye Nicholson? 😄

OOOHH. I always pronounced it like Gil Meche (of the Kansas City Royals).  Not Meck

Basically, my decision to change names was just verified, verified, verified, and verfied. Just remember, Dunaway with one "n", not two.

 

Cheers all,

Jack
