Turley is the chief pirate on csa2.  If he takes it 
personally, too bad.

I'd rather berate his actions in public, Bob.  And pirates, 
and piracy are legitimate topics.  You may no like to hear 
about them, but then I'm not here to please you.

Help!  Bob's stifling me!  He's telling me not to voice my

Bob?

Yep.  Efforts have been ineffective.  Does that make asimov 
right in your eyes?

Well, you're familiar with tarnover, asimov, fairway... I
