I take the time to post dx logs, and they're ignored, except by Tebo who
corrects one of my assumptions. But people who post off topic get
zillions of responses, most of them childish insults from the likes of
Ace. David never lacks for attention. But my logs? ZZZZZZZZ (apparently)
Is this REALLY a shortwave radio group? Or just another place for people
to insult each other and act passive aggressive?

I=3Fve been away for a while, but I have seen that log postings don=3Ft
generally cause a lot of discussion. Stewart MacKenzie has been posting
his loggings on here for years, for example, and doesn=3Ft get much in the
way of direct replies. What=3Fs to say, after all? You heard =3Fem, good
for you, and thanks for the info which will help me pick =3Fem up.

The problem with some of the other so-called discussions are that
someone comes in with a hot-button post, and a lot of folks feel it
their sworn duty to either tell him to get lost, or drop down to his
level and get embroiled in a nasty posting war.

Personally, I suggest you treat =3Fem like jammers: ignore them. Most
newsreaders have a =3Ftwit filter=3F or =3Fbozo bin=3F where you can add
individual twits/bozos to a list, and postings from those people will
subsequently be ignored. Works pretty well for me.
