What contribution? The guy only wanted to hear about the Blap-O-Matic 99,

not

every other possible radio! If someone asks me about a Drake R8B, why

would I

tell him about a Sony 7600? Although I didn't cite an actual example,

anyone

who's read this newsgroup for a while knows what I'm talking about.

Sheesh.

You eediot!






OK, let's keep making stuff up. Say somebody asked about an intermittent
display on an R-8. Somebody fixed their Sony 7600 by disassembling it and
cleaning some contacts. Is that an exact, step-by-step fix to the R-8's
owner's problem? Nope. But it could be useful information. Other R-8
owners may have fixed intermittents in the power supply or the encoder. But
that's not a display, is it?

But let's say the R-8 owner has a peculiar sensitivity. He's offended by
answers that don't address his exact problem in his exact radio. And
usenet, being usenet as usual, brings forth many posts of imperfect
relevance. Dammit! Maybe nobody has had this exact problem in this exact
radio. Or the one guy who fixed that problem went fishing that week.

Well, I think it's high time somebody fixes usenet. Maybe when Hillary
Clinton gets re-elected as our President, she'll skip the Gays in the
Military and National Health Care nonsense and go for the really, really
important stuff. The Special Sensitivity Usenet Posters Act. Then those
people who reply with inexact answers will get almost what they deserve.

But IF, Bill gets in again then he is going to post good stuff to RR Gay
and it will only apply to Gay's who use SW radios.
But gays use shortwave radios. In China they have a wind up radio with
out a display.
