Seems I did not make my point. A large portion of Winlinks

that H I D D E N user -- as would a human operator under the same 
circumstances. But since WinLink doesn't include a busy frequecy 
detector, and since WinLink doesn't respond to an operator 
sending "QRL, please QSY", it blasts away, QRMing the pre-existing 
QSO.

Andy, wasn't there another list to discuss this "I hate Winlink" 
stuff?

>>>There is indeed another list for discussing policy. Addressing  
inaccurate technical assertions seems in-scope for this list.
