QFT. This man understands the internets. ^_^

EDIT: I know they got their small win last week, feel free to post these anyways, they need ~173 signatures still. Posted this on my twitter, along with this quote, Tweet 1: "Nearly 20 percent of Victorian ambos found that 75% made mistakes due to xtreme fatigue. Avg ~6 hours sleep nightly...

Quoted for truth. ... as they say, "You can't fix stupid."

My communications teacher would call that a definite need for CISD. I actually just finished completing that section (5 pages) in my syllabus, and those are a few of the symptoms that a call may have affected him more than he's willing to admit... Just my $0.02 (Cautiously, as I see VentMedic...
