Personally, I find myself a much better person after I learned how to gut a
deer on a tailgate over lawn chairs.  It must have been the side drip thing
that did the trick. Also, the cat urine thread made me rearrange my racks
and shelves of gear. I remember thinking to myself, "whew, I'm sure glad I
read those cat urine messages." In fact, I put all of my heavy gear in the
middle of the shelves so that any potential cat urine would drip off the
middle and not run down the length of the boards....just like Nolan did.

Not all of us have ham licenses, so we may not be up on the honor and
decency aspect of things.
