You, Liebermann and Flunky have continually berated me for "pretending" to have a real engineering degree without a degree.

Tom claimed to "have an engineering degree" several times.  However,
there's no indication if the degree or diploma he claims to have were
the result of a college education, diploma mill, downloaded from the
interent, or a product of his amazing imagination.

Ah, I don't recall him ever stating his degree was in engineering,

Well, Tom did claim that he "read out" 3 public libraries, one
military library, and an unspecified number of books:

"I would warrant that I've read more than 20 times more books than you
have. I read out three public libraries, the military library and all
of the books I used to gain the knowledge to become an engineer."

Sometime later, I calculated how many engineering books were available
for Tom to read. 

Then, there was a rather odd discussion where Tom claimed to have
attended Cal Maritime academy, which requires living on campus for 4
years.  Tom also had a problem wrongly locating the academy in Marin
instead of Vallejo.

I'll look for the relevant quotes later, as time permits.

Also, I could use a favor.  Since Google groups stopped archiving RBT,
I've been using:
https://rec.bicycles.tech.narkive.com
to provide URL that point to Tom's mistakes.  Narkive didn't work very
well.  You found an alternative archive site for RBT.  I used it, it
worked, but now I can't find it again.  Help?

but I
do remember the claim about Tality. Incidently, A feat which he
accomplished in 4 years while working full time (also while always the
first one there in the morning and the last one to leave at night) at
that company which I believe only employed him for 4 years.

It begs the question of how he got an engineering degree if he never
went to college for engineering. That's a rhetorical question, I
actually don't care.

If all Tom wants is a piece of paper that says he's an engineer, there
are plenty of diploma mills and downloadable degrees available.  For
example:

<https://www.google.com/search?q=engineering%20diploma&udm=2>
<https://www.google.com/search?q=printable%20editable%20diploma%20template&udm=2>
Hmmm... Tom should also obtain a high school diploma:

It's a sextant, not a sexton.
