[Elecraft] Of words and such

[donovanf at starpower.net]

Just one more case of "no good deed goes unpunished!" 


The "punishment" was the innocent misuse of an infrequently used 
phrase when the writer clearly intended to praise Eric for far 
exceeding customer expectations. 


Not to belabor the point, but "beyond the pale" means exactly the 
opposite of what the writer intended: 


"Outside the bounds of morality, acceptable behavior or good judgement"
