Ah yes, every once in a while a competent service guy comes around.
I remember one who worked on the gear at FAU back in the dark ages
who would scratch his initials on every bad board he sent back to
be repaired at the factory. If he ever found his initials on a board
that needed to be sent back again, it would have a shipping
accident instead of making it back for repair :-).
