I'm looking at this email, wondering what is this person **talking** about?
Is this some type of spam? That's the entire email. But no, it turns out that
Tom Morris is the Chairman of the Miami Hamfest [1] and he was commenting on
a comment I made eleven years ago [2] (and it's been seven years since I last
attended the Miami Hamfest [3]).

But next year's show [4] looks to be interesting, what with part of the
emphasis on “alternative energy” and my interest in fringe science (I find it
facinating, not necessarily because I believe in it but because I find it
highly amusing). I'll have to check it out next year.
