low, mean spirited, and sick some of the participants here are.

You can go back 100 years, dig up as many old posts from me as you like.
Since none of you abviously have lives, you have plenty of time for that.

You can accuse me of spamming, taking advantage of new hobbyists, and
any other myriad of crimes to society I've seen you idiots bring up
about me in the last week or so.

But in reality, the worst thing I've ever done on these newsgroups is
post FS and FA listings for equipment to scanner or radio newsgroups,
one of them being a swap group anyway. And, yes, I've crossposted as
well, OK? Asked, answered, I admitted the infraction, and rest assured,
you will see NO posts from me ever agin, let alone FS or FA.
(That proclamation should make you all very happy, but then, who would
you pick on, or BITCH about?)

If I was as bad as you've all convinced yourselves I am, my eBay
feebdack would be a horror show, and you would have dug up many
newsgroups posts complaining about me.

Don't paint everybody with that brush Dan!

In reality, there are many Good Guy Alert postings, which I notice you
newsgroup detectives conveniently left off your assault against me.

I will quote from an e-mail sent by a trusted radio hobbyist with regard
to these newsgroups...

"Dan, why are you wasting your time with an area of the internet that
has seen it's day, and is a wasteland for idiots, boobs, and morons.
Troublemakers who always remain anonymous?"

Truer words were never spoken.

I've attempted to let this die, but mean spirited morons want to now
publicly discuss ways to obtain my address. Wow. Your hatred runs deep
boys and girls. I pity you.


If any of you brave men or women, as a result of your inquiry into my
address really want to meet with me face to face to discuss these
matters, I have no problem with that at all.

If not, can we let this die now? There are plenty of other folks
spamming, cross posting, and selling items on your beloved groups as we
speak.

Go pick on them for a change.

Dan

I see no reason that you shouldn't post anything, heck I don't see
anything wrong with posting FS or FA as long as they are in the header
that way.
The only thing I said to you was even if somebody ratted you out to
Ebay is no reason to turn into an ass and snitch everybody else out. I
understand that you were upset and maybe spoke before you thought it
through. Even if you don't post FS or FA stuff, you still should post if
you felt like sharing your knowledge. Don't worry about the idiots, they
have always been here and they always will be here!
