[Milsurplus] Offended by "Ham-mered?"

[Mike Feher]

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 engineers.

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.
