> This isn’t going to be easy. The website is run by an organization called Beers for Engineers, apparently a social group in CA. There’s no contact info on the site. I called the one phone number I saw; turned out to be a tavern where they met at least once, but apparently they didn’t announce themselves - the owner never heard of them. I’m pursuing one other angle, but if anybody has heard of these guys or can find anything out about them, let me know. Please DON’T make any contact with them yourself; I’ll handle that. Thanks.

So…um…you’re saying I shouldn’t press the black button, then? 'Cause I’ve already started the arming sequence.
