Nobody here is really that hard to "get."

You tune the transmissions and frequencies as best as you can for each different receiver, and if you get static back, you just separate it from the return signal.

Metaphor shift!

It's a football game. You pound the heck out of the other guys, but when the whistle blows you give them a hand up, and after the game everybody's slugging back beers at the same bar. Maybe that's a guy thing. Two guys can ream the hell out of each other and then five minutes later it never happened. I can't think of one person that has ever been on this board I wouldn't shake hands with if I met them in person. Of course, five minutes later, we might be reaming each other out...

Women don't do that very well. I know women who are still nursing a grudge over some slight from years ago. That's something else you have to take into account when tuning the transmitter.

My word, have I jumped metaphors again?
