[dragnet2]

Hey Frank, the moniker is based on the definition of the word, not some Hollywood show you might be watching.

Please accept my apologies.

I always assumed it was for the Dragnet show on radio 1949-1957 and TV 1951-1959 and 1967-1970. And the Dan Ackroyd and Tom Hanks movie.

I know of course it is a term from the old days.
First for catching fish since the stone age and then for police work.

Please accept my apology.
