Is it OK to say arrogant ass on this list?

No one will complain if you want to call yourself an arrogant ass.  Reading this, I believe one of your first posts on the list, I think it is a very fair self assessment of yourself.

Back to designing electronics that are required to meet lightning protections levels higher than what Brent had mentioned in his post.

And, incidentally, a magneto will hardly notice a nearby lightning discharge (a few hundred yards away) that will kill all the electronics in an EI system.  Yes the EI system can be designed to be protected against that, but only if the designer knows what they are doing.  The reason some of us are EI-phobes is because we are afraid that it may be designed by a team led by a self described "arrogant ass" like you, or worse yet, actually designed by someone like you.
