There is  nothing in the constitution that says you have the right to NOT 
be  
offended!!!  My dad always said people who are offended by anything  just 
don't have anything to do! Get over it!

Right ON  Dave!

I've been told a couple of people are "offended" by
my  description of a piece of gear which has suffered
the usually pointless,  needless application of
"the golden screwdriver"
as having been  "Ham-mered."

Well, when I remove the bottom cover of a  70-year-old
war veteran and expect to see the nicely-laced
wiring  harness and other details of craftsmanship,
like  this:

and instead, what I  see is this:

it's just a  bit much.... a bit.
Why for Pity's sweet sake cut all the lacing out  and
leave this spider web??

Although most of us *including me* were  guilty of this
sort of "sin" in our youths and would not do so now,
I  think my use of the term "Ham-mered"
entirely justified.That's the only  word that  describes
what's happened to this poor  modulator.
