You do have a point, but there are venues for this type of message, and this list isn't one of them. There are a couple of things I look for that indicates to me that the message is, or bordering on, spam. One is the use of huge fonts. The second is the line that says: "send this to everyone you know." I ignore those type of messages. In addition, another person pointed out that it is over two years old. Hardly breaking news. My life isn't miserable, but I don't need those type of messages on a list such as this. Richard <http://www.n7tgb.net/> www.n7tgb.net

The fact that it's two years old only adds to the desperation those parents must be feeling over this. Don't forget, you are a living being first (even if it is only a human) and a ham second (or third or fourth or tenth). You would do well to try to show some compassion in that, seemingly, miserable life of yours.
