  I was going to mail this small little interjection directly to the 2 people
  in question, but I figured I would go ahead and waste the band width (maybe
  that will make some more people as happy as Tiffany and Ken:)

  I have been keeping up with this and many other groups for a couple of years
  now, and I would like to say that this group wins the "Crybaby Award."  

  There are more thin-skinned people in this group than any other.  Everyone
  feels that they are right and there is no other POSSIBLE answer.  So you
  studied radio and/or got a ham licence - BIG DEAL.  Unless you have a very
  impressive sig location, somewhere dealing in radio fulltime, I take your
  reply with a grain of salt - as should everyone.

  If you disagree with a reply, give yours and back it with fact, not just a
  guess or one freak experience.  Don't state "This group is stupid, I will
  never waste time reading it again" or get into some senseless cursing
  contest (see above).

  Grow up folks - Get a life outside of this newsgroup.  I doubt you are the
  God of Radio, face it you could be wrong.

  Give my worthless $ .02,

  David
