Through AMATEUR radio, many strides have been made, through the auspices of "don't touch it till we make is safe!".. I can not think of ONE.. not a single advancement made in amateur radio. IF it can't be touched until it is totally safe, just exactly who proofs the floor in your bedroom every morning, who starts your coffee... ok.. too far? Who is it that proved the trips to outer space were safe? No risk there? Right. ok.. too far? So just where does it stop,... and just exactly where does one actually accept the risk of living... of being free... or is that what we are really talking about?  IF you don't want to play.. ok fine.. then don't.  IF you do... then learn, accept the risks and LEARN.. make notes.. review the notes.. LEARN.. if you don't like the way something is done.. build a better mousetrap.. they will come.. but do NOT try to stuff a mousetrap with a broken spring.. into my shopping bag. I still want to learn. 

Have a great day,
