It took a while to figure out that she wasn't refering to our long time 
member Mav, and even to understand what her possible personal attack on 
him was all about.  Now that others better versed in such matters have 
explained that we are dealing with some kind of missile and not the Ford 
product, I think that I can safely conclude that this lady is not 
officer material.  No wonder Sean's wife wouldn't understand! :-)
