I realize this code test issue is a bit like shooting fish in a barrel
at this point, but I learned it as BRASS rather than BASS. ;-)

Heyo, John, off the subject but "BASS" was Breath-Aim-Sight-Squeeze
acronym in the U.S. Army of the 1950s.

If you search through past posts of Stebie da Wundermurine (K4YZ)
you will find his implied "threat" of "a few ounces of pressure"
which was, of course, in reference to the squeezing of a trigger.

Did Steve ever admit what was so obvious to everyone else?

Hence my remark that you quoted. :-)

In his emotional volatility he forgot to look to see if anyone
could shoot back, hence his continuing anger and frustration
at those who CAN and DARE to do such a thing! :-)

That is a guaranteed inevitability. Instead of the neighbors saying,
"he was such a nice man," they'll be saying, "I knew the VA should have
kept him on his meds."
