Jeff,

Your cool and calm air of total rebuttal in the face of so much mouth-foaming
nonsense is greatly appreciated by this former resident of Marblehead. who
heard way too much of the same sort of crap from the white pants set back in
those days of H.M. Pulham, Esq.


NE is nothing compared to jaxie!

Pulham is a great movie, you don't see it much nowadays.

And now for an almost total non-sequitur: Did you know that Hedy
Lamarr, who starred in H.M. Pulham, Esq., invented the
frequency-hopping technique that is now used by most cell phones? She
and composer George Antheil were granted a patent on it in WWII as a
technique for controlling missiles that couldn't be jammed.
