I have no doubt whatever that this slimy not-so-
little conman is a professional gambler, as he
claims. He demonstrates the techniques of the
experienced card sharp: The Bluff, already commented
on. But also the Deception and Sleight-of-Hand.

The Deception: "What's he trying to do? Get me
kicked out of the Carleton Alumni Club?" Of course,
he knows you do not have to be a graduate of Carleton
to be a member of its alumni club. The requirement
is merely that you are a former student. He knows
that. Whether or not he is a member of the club is
open to doubt. Not only would he have to be a former
student, he would have to pay dues. I doubt they
would have accepted his personally issued "LETS"
credit.

The Sleight-of-Hands from this cheat, which are
numerous:

For example, my request from the very beginning was
to let all of us see his transcripts, not his
diploma. Through mail order I can get a
"replacement" diploma from "Carleton" in any
"discipline" with my name on it. He may actually
have a real diploma, which would say something about
Carleton's academic standards. I want to see his
grades in courses where he would have presumably been
introduced to "Laplace transforms" and "positive
feedback," or if he even took them. Since by his own
admission he cannot produce evidence of professional
certification, the request is not unreasonable from
someone prancing about as an "engineer," claiming
"superior" knowledge to us mortals who are supposed
to take him seriously. Certainly, it would be one of
the things he would have to submit to the
certification board for them to ascertain his
qualifications, along with board examinations, etc.
"[Ryan was] alleging I couldn't produce my
engineering degree." I never said that, as the
selective quotes from my posts in this latest rant of
his confirm. Nor do I care. It is a card slipped in
from his sleeve, the cheat that he is.
  
I find it hard to believe that a person could go
through any sort of "electrical engineering"
curriculum, even the most rudimentary technology
course, and make statements as absurd as this:

"Both zero and negative feedback are acceptable while
positive feedback is always unacceptably unstable."
http://www.cyberclass.net/turmel/bankmath.htm

The most introductory student learns about the
utilization of "positive feedback" that
revolutionized communications, and made the very
computers we use to compose and read these e-messages
ultimately possible. From a standard text:

"Edwin Howard Armstrong enrolled in electrical
engineering at Columbia, and in 1913, while still an
undergrad, made his first great discovery,
regeneration...Armstrong discovered that the gain of
a triode amplifier could be enormously increased by
feeding some of the amplifier output back into the
input, i.e. by using positive feedback. Given enough
feedback, the amplifier became a stable and powerful
oscillator, perfect for driving radio transmitters.
Given a little less feedback, the amplifier became a
more sensitive radio receiver than anything else at
the time."
