Waited to reply to see how far some angry folks were willing to go with assumptions and insults.
I NEVER EVER checker boarded and would not do it even if I lived on base, that was my choice.

Assumptions of system "abuses" is not a valid argument to justify voting to totally give away RES drops.
That was weak!
It's not even PBS time yet...
