I am in complete agreement.  People just yack and yack and yack
about subjects that are of no interest to anybody.  They post messages
that go on and on.  Then fifty of their friends do the same thing.
Why do people do this, this posting of messages that go on and on and
on and on and say nothing or next to nothing?  This is supposed to
be rec.radio.cb, gosh darn it, so aren't we supposed to be talking
about CB instead of yacking and yacking and yacking and yacking?  
Just try to find ONE, that's right, just ONE reference to CB radio
is their entire message ... good luck on that one!  You would hope
to read messages about linear amp flames or something, but 
NOOOooooooooooo .... it's just useless yacking and idle chatter.
What I really don't like is people expressing their opinion on
subjects that have been discussed in a hundred other messages.
For crying out loud, this is not the friggin' Gallup poll.  Even if Mr.
Gallup read news, he would probably be so bored at all these 
messages that don't ever say anything that he would turn off his
terminal permanently, and probably never use CB radio either.
I for one have never talked to Mr. Gallup on the CB, so obviously,
we have a problem.  Another thing I really don't like is when the
subject line doesn't have anything to do with what the message
says.  My kill file as the word "linear" in it, and I would really
like it if all those flames about linears didn't show up on my screen.
Another thing that I don't like is when the article suddenly changes
subjects in the middle of a paragraph without any warning at all.
For crying out loud, take freshman composition or something.  Don't
the schools teach people to write anymore?  I guess not.  This is
why Bush wants to privatize the nation's schools in his America 2000
plan, and I think I am a big supporter of that, but I am not too sure
because I have not read the whole thing.  But my friend says its
a good deal.  I don't know if I'm for Bush or Clinton yet either,
but I do think that all this environmental stuff is getting out of hand,
and I have not heard either candidate talking about legalizing
linears.  I think if one of the candidates took a strong stand on
legalizing linears he would get a lot of votes.  Heck, I would
even vote for Perot if he wanted to legalize linears, cause I guess
legal linears would be good for the economy and create jobs.  I also
wish the new cable TV bill had something in it about making it legal
to hook your CB to the TV cable, so you could talk all over town.
Maybe you wouldn't even need to legalize linears if you did that.
So, I guess I've changed my mind about legalizing linears, so just
ignore all that stuff I said before.   I guess that we should
have freedom of speech too, so please disregard the other
stuff I said also.
