By God, there's hope for you yet. Maybe the idiot king of the FCC, Kevin Martin, can abuse his powers for good for a change and do just that.

So much for hope. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
