Huh?

I've seen this exact reply to many posts on many ham newsgroups. If you
disagree with the post, aren't you providing a "reply" to these
"supposed" spammers? I think you're being a bit anal here. Most people
with repeaters (even commercially made ones) have to do a bit of
homebrewing to get them on the ham bands (controllers, id'ers, etc.).
It sounds like what you want is more specific newsgroups such as
rec.radio.amateur.homebrew.vhf.2M.repeaters.motoro la.msr2000.boards.replacement.PA.versionB

Lighten up. You don't HAVE to read these posts and this one had a very
clear subject right in the subject line.

Please folks, do not reply to these posts which have nothing to do
with the purpose of this newsgroup.

If these clueless fools never get any replies, they will eventually
learn to post to the correct newsgroup.

Thanks,

Wanting to buy a spare circuit board has to do with repairing, not
homebrewing. Homebrewing means building a new piece of equipment
essentially from scratch.

Oh come on, whatever your security problems, whatever your need to
be a pedant, get it sorted and find some real issues to deal with.

If I was looking for something a bit unusual then a group of
homebrewers is one the first places I would try. Your definition of
this group is far too narrow, surely it also includes fault
finding, problems and repairing. The common link is that these are
things we do ourselves rather ran to the nearest shop.

I just wish I had a spare board to offer

Nonsense. Homebrewing is building things from scratch, period.
Crossposters and off-topic posters like yourself are the bane of the
newsgroups. If you want to purchase parts for repair, go to
rec.radio.swap. It's why different newsgroups exist in the first
place.
