My dear Cecil,

99% of the contributors to this newsgroup, particularly the professionals,
should make appointments to see a shrink. Problem? - the inabilty to grasp
what is staring them in the face.

It's a sad reflection on the present state of electrical engineering
educational facilities in the Western world. Never mind, there's still
hope, the Chinese, Vietamese, Hindu's, Indianesians, etc., will help us to
sort out such trivial matters as vswr. The problem of sharing energy
resources will take a little longer.

I have just opened a bottle of Chilean, Isla Negra, Cabernet Sauvignon. I
can't read what else it says on the label. But we musn't neglect our good
(South) American near-neighbours and friends.

I am listening to the BBC. The World's finest educational facility although
it sounds more like the VOA than the VOA.

It seems that a very large proportion of the Virginian forefathers were of
the criminal classes, convicts, conveyed in chains, who shared there lives
on arrival with negro slaves. Life expectancy in Baltimore and Maryland was
about 7 years. Between 50,000 and 100,000 convicts were exported to the Land
of the Free. They were present at the Alamo and assisted at many other
places to rid the land of the original inhabitants. Is this proudly recorded
in your children's history books?

Shot any rattlers lately?

otherwise.

Hello All,

Reg's post above just gave away his cover as an undersea transmission-line
engineer that renders his failure to comprehend SWR, conjugate match, oops, I
mean conjugal match, completely comprehensible.

I know his relevation was totally inadvertant, but it's evident to this SWR
worshipper that he's really a situp comedian empowered with an overdose of, what
did he call it, Kavurnay Sawvignun? He admitted he couldn't read what was
printed on the bottle.

So let's all take pity on this sensitive guy who's beyond his depth in trying to
fathom our attempts to bring him up to speed on the vocabulary required for
speaking intelligently on the vital engineering issues we discuss on this
important media of understanding.

God bless the Cween.
