Long time subscriber saying adios....

When the BS outweighs practical communication, the longtimers vacate.

Those of you who bemone the rise of ebay have destroyed the alternative
with your whining and petty bickering. Good job!

I had to open my filters to see what you are discussing - yes it is
polluted and causing declining use by normal folks - but use your spam
filters... Post and reply to only relevant people and keep the group
going...

Gotta agree with Denny. There are just a few folks here that
cause problems. Ignore them. There are lots of decent folks
here that post regularly, and many more lurkers.

Just take a little vacation.
Noise is simply a problem to deal with. Perhaps we should add another
Q code, QBS!
When I first got on the air with a very shakey rig I heard someone
call "CQ CQ no LIDS KIDS or SPACE CADETS" and I realized that not all
HAMS would live up to my expectations.

Filters are your friends both on the radio and the internet.

I know what you're both saying is true. Since ham radio has been dumbed
down I'm hearing a lot more Lids, Kids, and space cadets on the ham bands
too and radio's don't come with Lid filters. We need to keep CW and
increase the speed requirement to somewhere 13 and 20 wpm. We can't risk
dumbing down the service further.

Tnx, 73, Good luck in the contest.

Can't happen because it's not P.C. (politically correct). Would you want to
be guilty of discrimination against retarded CBers? Hell no! So chill,
dude.

Don't you just love these egotistical assholes who have to ANNOUNCE that they
are unsubscribing, hoping that they will get a bunch of email begging them to stay?

Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, whiner!

Definition of Political Correctness:

A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and
rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous old media, which holds forth the
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the
clean end.
