I never give credit. Instead, I charge interest.

True. You've pointed it out several times. I haven't commented on it
because I see a bigger problem. The time between Tom leaving the Air
Force in 1965 (or 1967) and starting the first job on his resume
(Thoratec) in 1984 is rather large gap of 19 years. This has never
been explained with one exception. Jay Beattie found Tom working at
BCC somewhere between 1969 and 1972. Berkeley Computer Corporation
(BCC). It existed from 1969 to 1972. See document page 27
(distribution list):

This is the only evidence of Tom's employment at any of
the companies mentioned in his resume. So, in the 19 year gap, Tom
had at least one job, in Engineering Support. Jumping from this to
"Research and engineering of biomedical electronic devices" seems a
rather large jump. Nothing wrong here. I walked into a recession
after graduating from college and ended up studying for teacher prep
and two low grade jobs fixing 2-way radios and installing radios in
cement mixers. I wouldn't have mentioned any of this except that Tom
reacted very strangely when Jay mentioned BCC. I'm curious as to what
happened.
>And, I note, he has never rebutted that.
Tom does not rebut. Most often, he changes the topic. Sometimes, he
just disappears and starts a new thread on a different topic. Other
times, he retorts with an endless back and forth debate where Tom
either fails to understand the talking points or intentionally
misunderstands them in order to frustrate his opponent. Instead of a
friendly technical discussion, this always turns into an ugly and
hostile argument. Lots of examples, but my favorite was Jay's
comments about Tom when he left RBT:

"So, in conclusion, STFU. At least try to post on
a technical subject, and when doing that, don't
spew nonsense numbers, made-up facts, speculation,
etc., etc."
