[Electronics-talk] Accessible Microwave?

[Christopher Chaltain]

Absolutely incorrect on multiple points but not worth debating with 
someone who's mind is already so fixed. I will say though that it's a 
lot easier to tear something down from the outside then it is to help 
change things for the better from within.

Ironic that a service provided by one of these organizations is being 
used by someone to spread such an inaccurate and negative opinion.
