Or a sick joke that is a forgery. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp Yup, points to Cecil for realizing this. Based on similar turns of phrase in a private E-mail message sent to me recently (of the usual, unhinged, "I didn't ask to be welcomed to this newsgroup!" variety), I can say with great likelihood that the perpetrator of this forgery is the individual who posts on rec.radio.amateur.policy with the E-mail address ." I sent a complaint to alt.net and altopia.com in case they caught the poster in their logs. It seems that we've really, really hit a raw nerve here among the unbalanced trolls who populate rec.radio.amateur.policy. They very much seem to fear the prospect that a new, moderated discussion newsgroup for amateur radio stands a good chance of getting created, one that will leave them behind. I suspect that there will continue to be a storm of retaliatory forgeries for some time to come, at least through the fall. As I said previously, check the headers. If something appears to be from me, and is not from Novia/Newscene, then it's a forgery. Check also for misspellings, poor grammar, and obscene language. -- 73, Paul W.
