That way you and 'Charlie' might be able to buy a larger domicile where he could have a Shack to himself. <BR/><BR/>If I might ask, what sort of solder does Charlie use. <BR/><BR/>Best regards from Oxnard, CASteve "Snort Rosin" Smith WB6TNLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01570621886789949035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-65873621641198257822008-11-17T14:59:00.000-05:002008-11-17T14:59:00.000-05:00Well Niel, obviously you NEEDED six of them.

There is an ointment for this, this need to be applied not on the body but on copper clad boards that the victims use. These are not sold in medical stores either. But are available in electronic parts stores and is mysteriously called as "solder flux". Apply these, not too generously, on the copper clad boards and let the victims do whatever they want with these boards. This will keep them happy for a while. Once the ointment is over, buy more and more and more.Ramakrishnan VU3RDDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889890890960319555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-57608626340334391862008-11-17T00:33:00.000-05:002008-11-17T00:33:00.000-05:00John: Uh, helping them to get organized might no...John: Uh, helping them to get organized might not be such a good idea, if you know what I mean...

I eagerly read the post and solution to my lovely wife, and she was not amused. She asked what is to be done for all the rest of family. Apparently, by the time I read Jonathan's (KC7FYS/7J1ALW) remarks, her eyes have glazed over and she missed the obvious solution that Jonathan suggests. In fact, to help our families cope with our conditions, I think they should organize Knack-anon meetings to coincide with our hamfests and while we are involved with other methods of therapy we need for our condition.<BR/>John K7JMJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14370481610103041667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-74767545030930235682008-11-16T19:01:00.000-05:002008-11-16T19:01:00.000-05:00Short of some ointment, some poultice or liniment ...Short of some ointment, some poultice or liniment that might stave off Knack symptoms--Bill's prescription seems as good a remedy as we have.
