IMO, Sandy, "trash and poor manners" would be someone who e-mails me and
says he wants to have a serious debate on the Internet in regards to some
of the articles I wrote for *QST* magazine. The debate begins. However,
in the middle of the debate, when things are not looking great, he tries
to cut a covert deal with me via e-mail to end the debate - seemingly to
save his smouldering biscuits.
