[TowerTalk] Lossy matching networks

[on4kj]

Hello All,

Apparently Tom did'nt stole his christian name.
Thomas, he also putted his hand into the wound, before being a believer.
My guess, Tom is right.
Unfortunately one does'nt dispose of a wound when it's needed to put his
hand into .....what follows is often " techno-babble nonsense ", as Tom
says. but we can learn of that too.......

Jos     ( an other OT who tries to KISS ...now )
