Gene:

I cannot believe that you would actually post to this List and admit 
that you are proud of stealing a book from a library!  This is a very 
selfish and totally reprehensible act.  In this state and others 
stealing or failure to return materials owned by libraries is 
punishable by a stiff fine and sometimes even imprisonment.  Remember 
this is a PUBLIC forum and you are lucky that someone reading this 
doesn't drop a dime on you.

As someone else suggested it might be a good idea to make a donation 
of an introductory book to Amateur Radio as restitution to that 
library if it exists and if not, another school library in the vicinity.

Geez!
