What really jammed my gears was the "I could do that in a couple of hours" 
comment.

Had he just commented that it was too much, was crap, etc. I woudln't have 
commented.  I frankly don't care if the kid trivializes my work, I DO care 
when he trivializes the amount of time that went into it.

You figure that until I started this project, I wasn't really very good at 
doing CAD work - I was more likely to drag out my paper based drafting 
tools and work it out from there.  I'd never done anything in 3D either. 
I had to get very good with CAD and teach myself 3D parametric modeling 
from scratch.  I'm still crap at that, but it's getting better. :) To 
any of you doing 3D work that do NOT have a SpaceBall - go get one! 
You're working with one arm tied behind your back and your left foot stuck 
in a bear trap.

In all honesty I should've just left it alone, but that kid just happened 
to pick the wrong button to press. :)
