You can run...but you can't hide! We know who you are!!!! Rog "the lurker" P.S. After 34 years with FAA, my skin is so thick that I haven't taken comments personally for years. I was taking advantage of the moment to be facetious. I always felt that about 3/4 of our FAA employees were just great and the other 1/4 otherwise. But then I bet in about any industry or company it is much the same.....and don't tell anybody.....but that might even include some in the pilot community also. roger. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wayne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Ed Burkhead" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "roger anderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Coupe-Tech" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2005 9:24 PM Subject: Re: [COUPERS-TECH] FAA staffers > ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any > advice in this forum.]---- > > > See Ed, They are lurking out there with their secret monitoring devices!! > > > I have all the respect in the world for a Civil Servant that careered out > with a good taste in his mouth that he had done right by his fellow man > while he worked..
