First, I would like to thank all of those who have replied with positive comments on and off the list to me, and the list as a whole.
I understand that any group of 400+ people is going to have a diverse range of ideas and opinions on how things need to be. Believe me, it's not easy for me to make choices on certain issues and please everyone. It's simply impossible. I've taken care of this list for 10 years, and it's not been an easy task. Sometime things go very smooth for weeks, then other times, they are like what we have all seen in the last few days. I have seldom been "heavy handed", or felt the need to be a "forum God". I just want us to have a resource to discuss our common interest, and for the most part I stay out of discussions, but I do monitor all I can. In recent times, we have taken on new moderators who have helped greatly in helping make decisions, and also monitor the content posted to the list. For that; they have my sincere appreciation. Thanks guys.... I am working on a solution to the for sale ads as I type this message that I think will work for everyone. There are just a few details I need to work out, but I think I might be able to get something going for this by next week. I will make this available for all members of this list, with of course the option to opt out of it if you don't want to see any for sale stuff. In the meantime, I would like to make one last comment. There have been a few private emails, and even public posts to the list that have been rather degrading to the admin and moderators of this list. I was even sent one email where the sender suggested I was communist. Simply due to the fact I was attempting to enforce a rule this list has had since day one. Some suggest that this topic was more bothersome than the for sale replies. Well, that's probably true, however if the rules were observed, that hot issue would never have taken the bandwidth it did. Jim and I both have been trying to remind the list for weeks about this because there has been such a flurry of these violations. The list must have some rules. If not it will turn to complete anarchy and go to pot like so many others have in the past. We are doing the best we can, so please bear with us. We will never be able to please all of you, and that is purely fact. Thanks for your patience & 73 Brian / wa5am -- "Money is only temporary, radios are forever" - Jim Little aka "the old dawg"/K5BAI ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
