[Elecraft] RS232 interface - the analogy

[Dauer, Edward]

Just for the record, buying stolen goods is not a crime.  *Knowingly*
buying stolen goods, however, often is.  In any case even an innocent
purchaser of stolen goods acquires no valid title to them.  If he loses
out to the rightful owner, it¹s he who has to go chase the thief.  That is
one of the traditional dimensions of the principle of Caveat Emptor (buyer
beware.)  How it fits into the present discussion I will let others decide.
