i have been hanging around probably six years. everything looks the
same to me. if you really need good advise on radio the older guys
will come out of the woodwork. you can get a good four or five
replies before the thread goes flying off topic. this group wont
implode because most of us suck. everyone hates everyone else and
each of us cant wait to ridicule another for their off topic post.
the ones who dont take an active part in the carnage and slaughter
that goes on here all hold the coats for the active contestants.
their short posts of support to various sides bolsters their egos
and keeps the cycle strong. meanwhile the few adults scan for on
topic posts to reply to and maintain enough real legitimate traffic
to rationalise the groups existence in the first place! oh! what a
wonderful mechanism this group is! so dynamic and finely tuned as
to support itself on its own irrelevancy. like a feed-back loop!
like a bull**** powered oscillator that pits apathy against hatred
to heterodyne together! the tone you hear is not noise, it is the
life, the pulse of rec.radio. shortwave! ............ you know you
love this place. if not then why did you come back?

For the free beer.

And the entertainment value.
