10-7 for 10-4? 1
The Commonwealth of Virginia does a thumbs-down the State Police’s use of 10-codes; they have concluded that, rather than clarity, they make for confusion:
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

It’s about time. 10-codes were for the early days of radio when one had to strain their ears to distinguish a voice out of a sea of static. A well-designed two-way FM radio system these days can deliver voice quality comparable to having the person right in front of you.
I still think there needs to be clarity in emergency communications. It’s not a time for slang or idioms. But I don’t think it’s a time for 10-codes anymore either.
Odd, the topics I can have staunch opinions on…
