No one I've ever worked with in my 40+ years in this industry has
ever been called 'sparky' except for the aforementioned intern. Your
inane claim is about a valid as claiming I'm not an engineer because
I don't call fiber optics light lines.

Sparky was a slang name for the electric chair in US prisons:

I spent a large part of my working career in the 2-way radio business
and don't recall anyone being called sparky or sparks.  Same with ham
radio and broadcast engineering.  Such names sound good in movies and
videos, but elsewhere are treated as derogatory.

I've previously mentioned that I can easily determine whether someone
has had relevant experience in any trade, profession or disciple by
inspecting the manner in which they handle industry specific names,
acronyms, jargon, technologies, buzzwords, trademarks etc.  Someone
with experience will use all of these correctly.  Someone pretending
to have relevant experience will always make a mess of it.  (Yes, I do
mean always).  Even someone with extensive prior experience, but no
recent experience, will have problems because the jargon often change
with time.  Tom's misuse of industry jargon and inventing new terms,
is a good example of not having any experience.

Jeff, you spent most of your life scrabbling around trying to make a

Tell us again how water is used to put out gasoline fires?

 Do you always have to prove me right concerning your IQ?

I've always proved you wrong about my IQ, as proven (yet again) below.
Gasoline butns at

540 degrees F.

Gasoline autoignites at 536F. That flash point is -45F. Neither fact means you can out out a gas fire with water.

 Lithium Ion fires are MUCH hotter and self sustaining. Fire departments no
longer even try to put them out.
 But of course you knew that, didn't you?

yup.

they-so-intense-and-how-should-they-be-fought-an-expert-explains-214470
 One of these days someone is going to force you to tell the truth -
probably your managers.

Oh, you mean like how gasoline fires should be put out with water?
  And when your activities come out, you are going

to be SOL.

I have a highly visible position. Everyone is aware of my activities - it's why I've been given consistent raises and promotions, have a PC in my office to stream bike races during the work day, and no one bats an eye when I alter my schedule to accommodate daylight for my commutes. I'm quite sure* no one gives a rats ass if I post to usenet a few times a day.
* and remember, sparky, "quite sure" = "completely confident".
