[Boatanchors] [Milsurplus] Offended by "Ham-mered?"

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

Heh  even in my  earliest most childish attempts  nothing I  ever did 
looked that  bad.
Unreal!

Well,  maybe if some of us would not have had an opportunity to do stuff 
like that in  the 50’s as barely teenagers, we would never have become

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.
