Couldn't agree more. There is such a wealth of knowledge out there and somehow, between us all, we manage to suck it in here for all to enjoy.
Have a great new year one and all.Brian - Newton Abbot, Devon, UK

Re: Well done lads
I am certanly not one of them, by description of that word:
In the slang of the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, boffins are scientists, engineers, and other people who are stereotypically seen as engaged in technical or scientific research. American equivalent is "Egghead"[1]. The word conjures up an image of men in thick spectacles and white lab coats, obsessively working with complicated apparatus. Portrayals of boffins emphasize both their eccentric genius and their naive ineptitude in social interaction. They are, in that respect, closer to the "absent-minded professor" stereotype than to the classic mad scientist. Alec Guinness's character in the film The Man in the White Suit (1951) is a classic example of an eccentric and obsessed boffin.
