Hey - what's going on here? Has no one remembered the patron saint of machinists (and mechanics in general)? You all know him...

St. Nick.

Thanks Unca Joel,

Your report is the most convincing & well thought out response, although I think everyone did a good job of passing away the dog days of summer pursuing my dubious post!

Since St. C was the only Patron Saint I really knew of, I ASSummed it was to obvious to be appropriate, & I am wrong again! In any event, taking poetic license liberties w/ Vanagon Patron Saints allowed for a more stimulating conversation, wouldn't you agree?

Thanks to all who contributed to the discussion- my apologies to all who were offended.
