I'm not being personal here - I'm mocking OURSELVES because we worry too
much about stuff that aint mean nuthin.

Internet wars erupt of this sort of thing and go on for years!

No. One. Gives. A. Sausage!  Not me, not the regulatory authorities, not
your neighbour with their digital TV.  No one!  Only the person with the
meter is fixated how how wide that needle is, and on which side of the
lawwww it is.

See! Now poor Bob is selling his huge fat tranny because of orl' this
here law-bidin' talk makin' shurrr our pee-ee-pee's is within' the
limits.  Shame!!  Does someone wanna rescue it it and build a
meter-wreckin'-and-a-coax-smokin' amp with it?  I do, but I'm on the
other side of the planet.

Have fun people, and don't sweat a dee-bee here and there!
