This group was fairly quiet, even dead, for some time until Gareth made
a few posts designed to stimulate idiocy. I don't know what the man may
know about radio science, but he is a master puppeteer.
In U.R.A. there was a move to just stop replying to his posts,
particularly the baited hooks and it killed a lot of the noise in the
group.
Some of the questions start off interesting but pretty soon descend into
name-calling or cyclical arguements and it is time to leave the thread.
Some of his threads are heading that way already.
It's not just him. He lives for the controversy obviously. But others
here live to give it to him. Trolls feeding trolls. Good luck getting
the ones who reply to agree to ignore him. You'd have better luck getting
him to ignore them!

It is a mistake to judge me based on the infantile and abusive people who
do not know how to behave in an international discussion forum.

From a degree in electronics (Essex 1972) and a software career in the
communications industry, now that
I have retired, I have time to ask questions about those things that puzzled
me 45 years ago.

Amateur radio has technical and gentlemanly traditions which I have spoken
up for consistently
in the 21 years that I have been a subscriber to Usenet and never originate
any personal unpleasantness.

I do not care for controversy, which is why I castigate those, such as
yourself, who feel the
need to resort to personal remarks instead of just joining in a discussion,
or refraining from doing so.

I don't think the word 'controversy' means quite what you think it
means.
