[Boatanchors] [Johnson] [Hammarlund] POPULAR ELECTRONICS MAGAZINES

Thu Apr 23 21:42:22 EDT 2009

Carl, how long have I know you, 30, 35 years ??
You were full of BullBleep when I first met you and you are still
full of it.
You can't utter two sentences about someone without resorting to
insult and character assassination.

Please folks, excuse me if I sink to his level. It shall not happen again.

73, Dick, W1KSZ

ps: I made a very good living for over 35 years with my knowledge of
Contract Law. No J.D. here, but I did well and didn't have to put up
with the Lawyer jokes.
