Have you read the description of the group? It does not say "restricted to technical topics only".
You have a right to give your opinion to Andy but your characterization of legitimate discussion as "flapping lips" pretty much tells us where you stand as far as making the Amateur Service better from an *operational* point of view as well as from a protocol technique point of view. Operational uses of digital modes is NOT "politics", at least not in my opinion. If Andy wants to restrict discussions to technical topics only he can. But he should change the group discussion to say that. Otherwise discussions on operational techniques, advantages, disadvantages, etc. will continue to crop up. Maybe YOU don't want to hear that but many do - e.g. the guy wondering about how best to operate a digital net. tim ab0wr --- In [email protected], John Bradley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The sad part of it is , is that Andy set up another reflector for the "amateur lawyer's" use, called digi policy or something like that. > > Instead, this group seems to feel that the rest of us enjoy hearing the endless inane arguments, the petty hairsplitting, and the > complete lack of any open minded discussion on any subject. > > My easy solution is to put them, one by one , on the blocked sender list, which moves their messages directly to the trash bin. > This gets rid of most of the QRM. > > Andy has tried to run a decent reflector, and every once in awhile there are some true "gems of wisdom" which filter through all the > B.S. , which makes remaining a member worthwhile. > > Andy, if you had any gumption, you would punt this noise off here and over to where all the arguments belong. > > John > VE5MU > ----- Original Message ----- > From: David G.
