QFT!

I am pretty sure I was at that one also.

I know of one person that told the entire world that we could not fly in the rain on 2.4 because that was the same frequency microwave ovens used and all our transmitter energy would be absorbed by the rain. But I guess everyone knows my opinion of THAT source by now.
