I just love it Steve. Bet you that the sender wouldn't say that to your
face. It is indicative of the illiterate to send this type of message
and also the kind of thing they would not utter in public.
You have really taken the lead in this mess and evidently you are having
success. Congratulations.

An interesting arrival in my email today... I received a message from
an
anonymous person in reply to a message I'd sent directly to several
ARRL
officials regarding the IARU bandplan. Well, to be specific I should
say it contained
the same subject line as a message I sent only to a group of ARRL
officials'
addresses, with an "re:" added. That same subject line was not used
on any
of my mailing list or web-board postings. Interesting... might have
been from
someone who'd been forwarded a copy of my message by one of those
officials, I
suppose.
In any event, the message contained some poorly written name-calling
and
profanity, which I will mostly ignore, but the following line would be
of interest
to everyone I think...
...senile old AM jerks! You been pissing on
the league for too long. you will all be dead in a couple
years, so what you care? run
AM all you want nobody cares"...
Nice. In the message I sent under that subject line I didn't even
mention
AM. I guess it is another reference to AMers only being oldtimers
ready to kick
the bucket. That's certainly not my experience talking to guys on the
bands.
And I'm only middle-aged at 44 years old, and I personally know 6 guys
in
their 20s and 30s that run AM quite a bit.
