	Do you (or perhaps the author of that letter) know anything about
the laws of physics, radio frequencies, military intelligence, counter

	Correct.  By the way, how come you log on as 'rats' and not your
real name, which I remember to be D Woo.  At any rate, you once posted
something blaming Jews for antisemitism since some Jews support gun
