Actually, i was confident that i could dismiss that kind advice
from the army fairly safely, since the tone of the note reminded
me of other "security" briefs i've seen from the military. The kind
i'm referring to are the kind that advise you not to get too familiar
with foriegners from communist countries if they ask you "overly
prying" questions and generally act like KGB agents (trench coats,
AM PM "bear is line?" accents and furry hats).

Gee, i'm glad the vendor couldn't take out the annoying feature
which allowed "you (read: lowly civilians) to do your [irrelevant]
jobs." What the hell? 

The tone of the message irked me so much, I had to read it a couple 
more times for the irritation to fade into amusement.

choke.
