Perhaps you're right. I'd love it if someone was willing to come give a talk about the legality of lockpicking. I guess I had a bit of a chip on my shoulder about 2600 because usually people point things out like that because they're trying to put it down. I overreacted and I apologize if I've put anyone off about the 2600 meetings. Really we're just a bunch of geeks who get together once a month and discuss tech and other goings on.<br>

</div>This really isn't trying to sound rude. But you should be opening<br>
your mind also. Given interesting information (The legality of owning<br>
lock picks, a tool espoused in your announcement), you got snippy<br>
about it. Perhaps a better response would be an invite for someone to<br>
give a talk about the legality of lock picks in local jurisdictions.<br>
