Hey, me too! I served with the same outfit in it's later incarnation of
'INSCOM'. Voice interceptor. I guess I'm a crypto-fascist, too, as well as
a gun-toting conservative christian meat-eating capitalist. Plus I'm a
die-hard film addict, using digital only for p&s snaps and for scanning and
printing trannies. I guess, according to some here, that all those factors
combine to mark me as being very unintelligent. Oh well, I've been called
worse.
Cheers, Bob!
Bruce
PS - You KNOW this got noted - can you say carnivore? ;-)
