Jobst is currently a HP engineer.  He's also an avid bicyclist and has
written a book, widely used, about the science and technology of
bicycle wheels.  He posts frequently to the rec.bicycles.tech group,
and he pretty much *always* sounds like that.  I suppose he might be
described, charitably, as a person who "doesn't suffer fools gladly."
I'm not in a position to dispute his engineering, though he frequently
resorts to ad hominem arguments.
