Gee I make one OT post and you hit the roof. Why don't you kick
some of these other OT poster in the balls Brian? BTW I've posted
more shortwave content here than you ever have or will and I'm damn
sure my involvement in the hobby extends beyond yours.

Nobody hit the roof, Brian. I enjoy your radio-related posts, and
you seem like a genuinely good guy. My point is, I'd hate to see you
become like the paranoiac, delusional, political loonies that infest
this group. Your post had more than a little bit of that tone in it.

I assure you that your involvement in the radio hobby is far greater
than mine. I had a novice license in the early '70s, and never went
any further than that in ham radio. Nowadays, I listen primarily to
utility stuff via a couple of little Radio Shack portables. Just
about anybody here is more into radio than I am. But, we really
don't need any more right-wing American loonies in this group, know
what I mean?

The off topic loonies of which the political posts comprise a great
deal of it is about 2/3'rds of the posts. I don't see that changing
unless someone goes after them.

You expect people to go off topic occasionally but there is a small
group people here that posts off topic all the time or very close to
it.

Your level of involvement in short wave is not the issue it's what you
post here in the news group.
