Oh yea, I knew people were going to complain. Surprised it has taken this long.

Because jere is a horrible, horrible person. End of story.

Of course, I'm not serious. But really, it's a great point to show how exploitative these electronics bugs are.

Re: How come this is possible.

First post on this forum; just wanted to say that I've been following the wireless electronics thread, and seeing this thread now gave me a pretty good laugh.
