[MD] Code-talkers

[Ian]

Ha, dmb
Clipped, oh yeah guilty as charged, more so than ever today, as I  
admitted in the clip you quote.

I should know better ? The irony is not lost I can assure you.

There is no obscurantist motive, or intent to waste reader's time. My  
general intent is to get an indication of interest before elaborating.  
Best use of both our time (I hope).
