We've been holding out for that possibility in your case, but sadly it
appears you are unable/unwilling to do so.

Whereas, because there is no event that will end paranoia, you will continue
to believe your claptrap in perpetuity. "The end is nigh! The end is

Because the US has taken some indefensible actions.

Darn you. You took my straight line. I was going to post about collector
base exchange.

I'm posting from sic.electronics.design. A lot of the folk here would
have known that the suggestion about the M1 was nonsense.

Was it frugal to move the plant bricks? I would think they would
