[R-390] Re: Caps and more caps

[Dallas Lankford]

So now you are changing your story. You sure had me fooled with your first
email.  We were discussing cracked brown beauties and other defective
capacitors.  So what was the point of your email?  Trying to explain
statistics to me?  Or just generally jerking me around?    I'll bet it was
the latter.  Why don't you just go away?
