Boy, after reading all this, I sure am glad we have folks like this to 
watch out for us, and make sure the "bad boys" are put to bed without any 
dinner. It's good to know that in spite of 99% of hams being no good, 
inconsiderate, nasty and downright naughty, there is 1% like our hero 
here, to take up the staff of righteousness.

I'll sleep better tonight, knowing folks like this are around.
