I have decided that it would be a good idea to participate in some message boards and newsgroups devoted to mechanical engineers, if possible. I haven’t had any luck with finding any using the search engines, however. Any suggestions?

If it’s to be found anywhere, it would be here: [www.DejaNews.com](http://www.DejaNews.com)

Good luck.

I’ve been looking for a message board about me for some time now.

Anyone wanna start one for me?

**Satan** , I have a feeling that there _are_ some MBs and newsgroups dedicated to you, although I’ll just stay the hell away from them.

Smartass. 🙂

Strainger, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers has some message boards. I’ve never visited them, but they’re at  
[http://www.asme.org/bboard/index2.html](http://www.asme.org/bboard/index2.html)

Hope this helps.
