Yah Mike. So that was the meter you sent me. Bill couldn't find a label on
the box, or on the meter to define what it was for that matter. Took only
about 30 seconds to figure out as soon as I opened the box, however, that of
course! That thing was nothing more than some outfit steeling DDI's
technology and I chalked it up for the lack of ethics with which that
particular outfit operates. It's downstairs in my basement somewhere. I'm
not about to go searching for it. Maybe it'll go with the house if and when
we sell the thing for all I care. I've got the meter that works for me!
That's all that matters. Huh?

>> There can be no doubt that Priscilla was an exemplary Federationist and
