Looking for new "owner" of the previously announced Yahoo! Group
Hi gang,
Below you will find my reasons for "bowing out" of being the so-called owner of the Yahoo! group entitled "All-Band Radio Renegades and Outlaws". I'm sure some of you will feel the necessity to comment on my decision, and try and psychoanalyze me for coming to that decision, which is fine. If you're so inclined, fire away. OT, I welcome your comments, as you proved yourself to be a gentleman. "Dr. Ace", your blather will forever be sent directly to my "bit-bucket" or, as I guess the current USENET nomenclature is now, "plonked" because of your absolutely sickening, perverted, offensive, and poorly thought out ramblings. I was, however, highly flattered that you would spend so much time in changing my sig into something so awful it exposed your true personality perfectly clearly. Now, I want you to keep thinking about me, night and day. Constantly. Think, "Sparky, Sparky, Sparky"... I want to be forever etched on your puny little mind. That said, may God bless you and allow you to repent and become a productive and decent human being. I know you have the potential. You've just not used it. At least not here on USENET. At your dinner table, I imagine you're a rather decent, friendly member of the rest of that group you're with. With that, adios, pervert. ------------------------------------ Below is my original message. I should have done two things differently; one, I am going to send this version as a "Special Notice", since it is of a significant nature in regards to our group, and some of our members have selected to receive special notices only. Also, I should mention that I will NEVER cease my 11 meter and/or CB operation. Too bad if that ticks anyone off, I couldn't care less. As a kid, that pair of walkie talkies I got for Christmas left permanent impressions in my brain which will remain there until it ceases functioning.  Like all those heterodynes,those southern accents and "handles", the fun of reaching "all the way" to my best friend's house 2 blocks away. I love CB, always have and always will. And, as I stated below, I love my CW. So there ya go. And, if anyone loses sleep over the fact that I prefer to remain anonymous by using the handle "Sparky", that's your problem. The Internet is full of kooks, nuts, fruitcakes, hackers, stalkers, and other Neanderthals who take immense delight in seeking one's location and identity only to harass, annoy, and/or otherwise make a complete nuisance of themselves. Should anyone care to use their real name, their ham callsign, give their mailing address and telephone number over the Internet, that's your business. Personally, I think it is terribly foolish and highly dangerous. But that's just my opinion. Deal with it. I am ceasing transmissions on our group's 3, 6, and 13 MHz frequencies immediately. However, 13.555 MHz is allocated by the FCC as a Part 15 frequency and can be used without a license. Part 15 has fairly strict rules regarding power output and antenna limitations. I understand that frequency can be used by any mode of communication. So... I may set up a LEGAL part 15 station of some sort, either CW or SSB, if they are permitted, and attempt operation at some date and time, probably when band conditions are better. Like in 5 or 6 years. Otherwise, I shall remain a listener-only, as stated below. Original message follows: This group has grown beyond my wildest imagination. I really never expected more than a dozen or so members. However, it seems to be constantly growing, which proves to me that there is interest in this sort of radio operation and activity. Believe it or not, I have come to the conclusion that I am no longer going to operate on the three HF frequencies we've chosen for our group. The main reason for my change of heart is that I've realized that operating on those frequencies could possibly interfere with our U.S. Military communications. In these seriously dangerous times I simply cannot -- and will not -- put our military personnel in any type of danger or risk. Therefore, I will no longer be transmitting on those frequencies. Secondly, I worked darned hard for my Amateur Radio license, and should I receive the deserved consequences for such illegal radio transmissions, I would most likely lose my Amateur Radio privileges. Frankly, it just ain't worth it. I love my CW way too much. Therefore, I am resigning as "owner" of this group and handing over the reigns to someone else. I am, and will always be, a shortwave listener who is interested in LISTENING TO the unusual, including pirate broadcasters, "freeband" 2-way radio operations throughout the HF spectrum, and other unordinary and clandestine types of radio operations. I intend on remaining a member of this group, sometimes participating by writing posts and making comments, etc. However, I will no longer promote or endorse illegal radio activity on my own behalf. If anyone is interested in becoming the "owner" of this group, please email me. I suppose the most fair way of determining who I assign that title will be based on the date the person joined. Sort of a "first come, first served" concept. And should there be a tie, well... I'll toss a coin. One person can be "owner" and the other can be assigned "moderator" status by the new "owner", if that person so desires. Should I not hear from anyone by Friday July 8, I will simply close the group down for good. It's been fun, friends, and I've enjoyed the banter that's been going on here. I hate to see it end. So, it's up to y'all. I'll await your request to become the proud, new owner of ABRRAO's. Thank each and every one of you for your joining up, your participation, and your opinions. I do look forward to the continuation of the group. It's been real... 73 -- ~Sparky~ ------------------------- Often imitated -- NEVER duplicated!

Thank you, Dan. Although we may not always see "eye to eye" regarding
certain subjects, I have nonetheless always respected your take on things, and your straightforward method of expressing yourself, both on the air, and off. I look forward to continuing our conversations. 73 -- ~Sparky~ P.S. Does this mean you wanna become the new owner?! grin On Sat, 02 Jul 2005 21:35:48 GMT, "Dan/W4NTI" wrote: Congratulations, you made the right decision for the right reasons.

Ahhhhh... it's beginning to come back to me now. I was wondering why
I ceased spending much time here on USENET. I certainly hope this is fun for some of you; this appears, at least, to be the case. The ultimate purpose of some of these curiously insulting comments rather allude me at the moment. Maybe I need to spend more time here to figure it all out. Then again.... 73 -- ~Sparky~ ------------------------- Often imitated -- NEVER duplicated!
