[EAS] Can this be true?

[Rich Parker]

I call BS - I lost my password once and it took me all of 3-4 minutes
to get it reset - but of course, if he ALSO didn't know the password
to his email account associated with Twitter........<smh>

On the other hand, maybe in the spirit of privatizing the crap out of
everything, we simply disband all EOC's, IPAWS/CAP and the rest and
get twitter accounts for everyone - oh, and cell phones for everyone
(and COW's (repeaters)). Do the math - if they can also send 'ads' it
might come out millions of dollars cheaper in the long run /s
