I trust the Laws of Physics. I believe that high voltage is lethal. I believe 
and trust that I=E/R. Does that disqualify me?

When WFIF goes off the air, you won't find me in a corner somewhere, praying. 
*get real*!

If I were that much of a dolt, I wouldn't be holding this CE position for 
well over a decade.

In most cases, I have diagnosed the problem in minutes and effected repairs 
as quickly as possible. Many times, it's been mere minutes from off-air to back 
on-air. I could tell many "war stories" but there's really no need. Your mind 
is already made up, and you don't want to be confused by facts.

You don't want someone who can *think* before they act? Hmmm. Interesting.

Morality has absolutely *nothing* to do with a dark transmitter. How utterly 
*foolish* to think otherwise.

That's your choice, and nobody will ridicule you for it.
