Those days are definitely gone. Maybe 20 years ago, but no chance these
days. Society is evolving and I'm personally happier with a fairer
arrangement where all folks are demonstrably treated the same.

I send all this stuff personally (i.e. not via official channels) and
would _never_ consider trying for any sort of advantage due to my current
line of work!

Unfortunately television and the movie industry insist on portraying
boatanchor characters that are as far from current policing as vacuum tube
computers are from modern VLSI machines.

Book-'em Dano,

Kevin
