Ah, another net cop with no delete key.

You have no history here, yet you pounce the minute someone posts
about CW, someone who has been here a long time.

I've been in these groups since the early 90s. I used to identify
but had a bad experience with a net cop.

And then a bunch
of others suddenly appear, even though they don't post about building
amateur radio equipment here.

Off topic happens. Heck they're talking God stuff in the
antenna group. Why aren't you complaining there?
And who's it hurt anyway? It's not like this place is
flooded with posts every day.

There is rec.radio.amateur.policy

Right. The kooks have taken over rrap with their profanity and
other sick stuff. That was a fun group some years back

It's idiots like you that kill the newsgroups

No I think the name calling and net cops are the ones who drive
people away, so keep it up and you will get your wish. In the
meantime just be cool and the thread will die a natural
death, they always do...
