I hate to have to say this Frank but I fear that it is about time
that we set up the:

S ociety
E xtended


Motto: Just don't do something; lie there.

Requirement for SWLs: Have conclusively proved that a
5-tube AC-DC superhet really does have a hot chassis.

Requirement for Hams: Minimum of one RF burn.
Extra points for burn thru fingernail or thumbnail.

Dues: if you haven't already paid
them, what are you doing /here/?

Recruiting Slogan: Why, yes; actually
we /are/ as stupid as we look.

Not only survived close encounters with the Hot Chassis, but I might have
been killed several times over by fully active 5U4s. Yet I survived, thanks
to BPL.

But how? Isn't BPL a new invention, far more recent than my clumsy repair
efforts? Don't we have a temporal anomoly here? Consider that BPL will
provide reliable broadband powerline access to everybody at a very low
price. BPL will make power lines quieter. BPL saves lives. And I'm now
sure the Rules of Time present no barrier to BPL.

I now realize that BPL exists outside the world of known physics. BPL has
found a portal into the world of magical psudeoscience commonly found on
Saturday morning cartoons and Star Trek episodes.

Smoking? No sir, I'm in BPL nirvana. BPL nirvana is the best sort of
nirvana, because wishing for something makes it so. The only thing I
haven't been able to wish away is the occasional cacophony of Cranky Old
Hams. They sound just like my alarm clock.

However, I fear it may already be morning in America.
