I think this turned into something ugly only in some people's minds. I saw only a spirited discussion. Also are there any boisterous pro-IBOC people here? Or are there people here who really don't care one way or the other? It seems to me that anyone who benignly accepts their hobby and maybe the whole AM band sliding off into oblivion obviously doesn't have very much emotional energy invested in this hobby. I think some people here are really overeacting to certain posts and maybe for the wrong reasons, I think there is more here than meets the eye. Anti IBAC comments just aren't going to stop, we need to accept that, 99.9% of DXers' hate it. If we don't want to read a post about someone getting WKRAP (now don't go crazy now Charles, hi!) in East Puddle, New Hampshire, we delete it, it's that simple, it's been said here and other places many many times, if we don't like something just hit the delete button. I do it many times each day. IBOC, IBAC, IBUZZ, what ever you like to call it is the most pressing problem this hobby faces right now and to ignore it and pretend everything is hunky dory is ludicrious. If I didn't want to read about IBOC and an e-mail came into my box with the subject line IBOC I would delete it, it's that simple and sometimes I do get tired of it and delete it, but most times not. I'm not trying to PO anyone, why can't we all just let each other do their thing. If I can't keep up with who is getting jammed by IBOC here where else am I going to get that information? And with this post I'm going to shut up for at least 20 minutes.
