Mate, I was accused of that before I was 21. In the intervening years a number of people have disaccociated themselves from me for the reasons you mention. The result has been a smaller but much more valued circle of friends, each of whom has a sense of humour, and an IQ that would show up on an X-ray. Some of them, but unfortunately a diminishing number, even work for the government. (Keep those envelopes with Canberra postmarks rolling in chaps, you're doing aviation a wonderful service!)
