Default Shortwave Log is no more

Bob Sillett and I always had a good relationship, I made donations
every year to him for SWLog. This time, he was gone so quickly that I
didnt even have time to say goodbye.

Bob, take that last donation I made to you and go get a nice dinner
and drink on me....thanks for a great program!

Looks like Mr. Sillett has given up on his Shortwave Log program. His
final post to his Yahoo group was that he couldn't reproduce the
problems people were having with V5 and that he didn't appreciate the
tone of some of the comments he was getting. The next day, the Yahoo
group was gone.

Too bad.

The reason seems to be a bunch of non-computer users who were having
problems and constantly bitching about them. I think he said screw it
after all he had worked for years on that program and didn't like the
tone of new users. I posted an email indicating that I would assist in
troubleshooting but never got a reply. Bob if you are reading this
thanks for the program and all the work you have done! Great job!
