Seems to me that the skimmer, by the descriptions I've seen, will actually serve as a digital, but decoded version of the old panadapter... that was considered by many as being unfair competitive use

At first glance, it appears to be a can/bottle opener.... and would work very well for that. It also may be a Hoof Pick. Depending upon the angle of attack, or amount of bend, it would be useful when
Seems to me, and this is just my opinion, and I am intitled to it. It Seems that those that want to cheat will. Those that don't won't. The issue comes when a member of one group, want to boost and e
