# waited too long? Did you stop too see what really happened here
# before you jumped in and shot off your mouth about somthing that #you have
obviously have no clue about. If it were the old lit_tty
#bug, I don't think it would need a reboot.
# And as for scary? Maybe you should take a look at the nature of #advanced
Ionospheric research before you comment on it. Sure, we #only pump about 1/3
of the juice through our dipole array as the #big guys(HAARP). Anyways, all
our systems are down until we can do #a thourough low level analysis. It IS
scary Anodyne. More than you #know. I asked for help, not blind ignorant flaming.
