[H-GEN] Re: [mesh] microwave oven's (are deadly!)

[Tony Bilbrough]

G'day All
fair enough, in the bin it goes unless some electrically competent bloke 
wants it.
But
I just have to query
- your 10,000% certainty
Are you absolutely sure? Really sure?
I mean
- is there some Vice Presidential way to understand, by a Factor of 100, 
a certainty that much more than the sum of the whole 100%, of Stephens?

We should be told, just how you conceive of this amazing feat of 
intellectual perception, you know!
