I can't agree more. Interest in what they do equals acceptance, which leads
to respect and possibly even friendships.

This ain't a war. It's not us vs. them. We're all on the same side, some
playing offense, some defense. (And I don't even follow sports!)

-----Original Message-----
In other situations, where I have had to ramp up on an unfamiliar
technology, I've always found that engineers responded well to MY child-like
curiosity and fascination with what THEY'RE doing, which implies my respect
for them.

It also helps to sit at their lunch table and join in their reindeer games
(b-ball, fussball, nerf gun fights, etc.).
