Andy, it seems to be time for a poll.
1. I wish to continue reading discussions of ROS
2. Enough already, lets talk about something else!
Care to guess what the vote would be?

Me again. In addition to a prohibition on personal attacks , this
group should be free of politics . This does not preclude
disagreement with Ofcomm, IARU, CRTC, FCC, or other national bodies
when it relates to amateur radio. It does mean that we should avoid
declarative statements about one country being better than another, or
espousal of one political theory over another (right wing
reactionaries versus left wing revolutionaries, etc). You are
entitled to your own political views but they are not part of this
group.
The rules are posted below, they have been unchanged for many years
but I have added the following While expressions of national pride
are understandable at times , please avoid political statements that
are not relevant to communications/amateur radio policy.
Rules.
This group is uncensored. Members are free to engage in the posting
of information, solicit answers to questions, and engage in lively
discussion.
Expressions of diverse opinions are encouraged. However, expressions
of opinion should be non-judgmental and devoid of personal insult.
For example : You can say I really disagree, and I think your view
is totally wrong but should not say You are a jerk,and obviously
have the I.Q of a mole.
Racist remarks, or remarks intolerant of the diverse cultures found
within the amateur radio community, are not allowed.
While expressions of national pride are understandable at times ,
please avoid political statements that are not relevant to
communications/amateur radio policy
The expression of fraternal greetings associated with varying holidays
celebrated around the world ARE allowed
The use of swear words is discouraged.
Please try to avoid endless debate of a topic. Make your opinions
known by all means, respond to counterpoints a couple of times
if you want. However, after a while, debates often turn in to endless
circular arguments. When this happens the moderators will occasionally
end the debate by giving a 72 hour notice. This means after 72
hours notice, posting on the topic should end.
Occasionally, a cooling off period is enacted whereby the list is
placed on fully moderated status to allow the debate to cool of.
Andy K3UK
Owner.
