You know, with this, I am wondering...
Scott posted this back 4 months ago, and started much discussion
about who actually invented Two Way radio, and it was pointed out
to him that it was not RCA, nor his grandfather, by a number of
people on the echo.
Yet he reposts it now.
Sort of like the mysterious private leo vs real leo thread, which had
died down, until scott reposted another of his famous posts concerning
that issue.
Could it be, that Scott just enjoys all this, and just posts this
dribble to start flame wars? When they start to die down, he
reposts them?
S&M at its finest!
