There is no college official anywhere that would use the words "bogus engineering firm" in a reply. No way.
And furthermore, you all are making fun of Patrick LaRive's credentials, yet according to the article found in this link, written by a Denyse Clark, of THE HERALD, in Rock Hill, SC, written on June 25, 2003, Mr. LaRive is a former NASA design engineer with a PHD in mechanical engineering. How does that make his firm a "BOGUS engineering firm?"
