I am appalled by Paul's comments about my post for Win/w5wm on the amfone.net.
Read it here before the whole thing likely gets pulled: http://amfone.net/Amforum/index.php?topic=11092.0 Why didn't you post your comments in reply to my listing for Win here Paul? You are not exactly what I thought was "my kind of person" to make a statement as you did here. There are a lot of folks on this reflector that know Jim/Win who will be completely astonished by such a statement. Just in case the topic is deleted from amfone.net, here is a copy of the entire thread: <START> The AM Forum AM CLASSIFIEDS => FOR SALE / TRADE => Topic started by: W5AMI on May 10, 2007, 05:45:31 AM Title: Pre-Estate Sale in Texas Post by: W5AMI on May 10, 2007, 05:45:31 AM This came from a very good ham friend of mine in Texas.

REPLY FROM PAUL - WA3VJB Title: Re: Pre-Estate Sale in Texas Post by: WA3VJB on May 11, 2007, 01:23:44 PM "Pre-Estate Sale" Curious concept. Maybe he's going into an old folks' home or something. Otherwise it's yer basic "fixin' to die rag" I suppose. MY REPLY BACK TO PAUL - WA3VJB Title: Re: Pre-Estate Sale in Texas Post by: W5AMI on May 11, 2007, 02:24:23 PM Quote from: WA3VJB on Today at 01:23:44 PM Otherwise it's yer basic "fixin' to die rag" I suppose. Sorry Paul, but I am really surprised by that statement! I know Win, and your assessment is pretty much correct from what I understand, however I think it's really harsh the way you put it, especially since he is (or I know at one time was) a member of this forum, and lot of his friends ARE members of this forum. I can only hope he does not see your reply. Being an admin of this forum, and "original" founder of amfone.net, the first thing I wanted to do was delete your comment, however I've decided that in situations such as this, Gary should intervene. Win has been my friend for a long time, and I simply can not understand why you would poke fun/criticize someone who is on his way to the other side. If I felt this was some sort of screwing for potential buyers, you can bet your damned money I would NOT have posted this to amfone.net, or anywhere else. I am not going to explain his health to everyone, and see no reason to do so, as that is Win's business and that of his family. I offered to list his items on amfone.net when I heard the news, and he agreed. Healthfully Yours Paul!
