I had been successfully ignoring ROS for a few months having been banned right 
from the start but I admit that ignoring it has largely been achieved by 
staying off the digital sub bands altogether because it made me so angry every 
time I listened for Olivia and heard this rogue mode on the air.

The only way different digital modes have been able to coexist without 
regulation has been because in the past both the developers and the users of 
new modes have been sensitive to and respectful of the rights and wishes of 
users of old ones. This simply doesn't work if someone decides not to play by 
the rules, and it isn't helped by what I suppose are mostly the current 
generation of new hams who, with the arrogance of youth consider those who 
voice objections to be no more than a bunch of old farts who can be ignored and 
vilified.

The existence of ROS has spoiled digital operation for me and the only digital 
modes you will find me on now are PSK and APRS, both of which have mercifully 
escaped encroachment by this wretched invention.
