[FADCA] Anyone want to take exception to this?

OK, folks, time out. We are getting a bit religious here and that is not good.
There are bits and pieces of every network that different components do
not like. Indeed that even happens in the work place, our network admin
at work will kill her self to make the development side of the house work
like a swiss watch but she does not give a flip about e-mail, but the admin
up in Mass. thinks the world revolves around e-mail and the rest of it is
a distraction, now the two of them combined get things done, each realizes
the others strength and weakness, and the get things working where they
have their best knowledge.

We have to do the same thing. This is not a war, we need to take each tool
we have in our arsenal like that tool or not, and make it the best we have,
so when we have the crunch we can go out and make those who have fought
to keep our spectrum available to us happy to do  it again.

You may not like a piece but if it gets the job done, take it and run with it,
make it do what it does best. When we are not under the hammer we can
work on all of the other neat stuff and hope that the next time we are we
have it all up and running so that each piece does what we expect of it
and allows those of us who can provide our time during the difficult times
to do our job better and get out of the disaster faster.

Do not get discouraged, look at what you have, if it is just setting there
and not being used, look at perhaps putting it to use as another function.

Let us all work and add each piece to it and make it all work better. If you
are not happy with the piece you have, ask if there is another way it can
be put to use and I am sure that we can give you some recommendations.

Now... We have TS #5 down there, think about that... The track is not
attractive regardless of how you look at it.

out and having to identify your bits and pieces in the midst of torn
and twisted metal."
