Ah well. The world as a whole is an offensive place. People need to be
more tolerant and be able to get along with life in the face of small
annoyances. 

Now, it would be different if some deliberate effort were being made to
offend - but that is hardly the case here - another citizen using legal
technology in a legal way. An unintended minor result is that the signal
escaped the car listenint to Stern. (Well, you could argue that Howard is
offensive, but that's not the point :-)
