Any electrical engineers or the like?

Kind of on the same note I had a discussion with an EE today about the electron theory, conventional vs. the automotive world... negative to positive or positive to negative. While in this discussion we talked about alternators and how the current flow of AC current changes to DC using the rectifier (diodes) and how the current flow in the stator changes as the rotor moves past it. While discussing this I drew up a diagram of the alternator and rectifier and we got into a whole hoopwah about negative to positive theory and in the auto world positive to negative and how it should and shouldnt work. If you have any clear ways of describing alternator operations using postive to negative theory could you please share.
