     Boy, they're going to be furious when you retire at the end of April.

     Better qualify what type of training.

     A fellow ham radio operator and net control station, is using a lot of   
   the techniques that I've used on my nets of late. It validates the saying   
   that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". :)

     Never mind the one about Ronnie's Ray-Guns.

     Sadly, that includes one's identity. I saw a deal today where thugs are    
   doing a deal to get the SIM cards from phones swapped for malware. The   
   thugs are crafty, clever, and persistent...so you have to really be on   
   guard. If something sounds too good to be true, it likely is.   
      
    JM>   One can have all the gun laws on the books, make it tough to get one,   
    JM> ammo, et.  But the bad guy isn't going through all that to get a gun.   
    JM> He will get his from his friendly neigbhourhood gun dealer's trunk.   
      
     Exactly.

     And, it's likely more powerful.
