[time-nuts] crystal oscillators & TPLL

So now we, those that want a little more than faith, are nuts.  Some day 
when you learn how to speak to people with respect, you too may get some 
respect of your own.

Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not know the difference.
Never wrestle with a pig, you will only get dirty, and the pig likes it.
