Polymath, you have my profound apologies on behalf of the entire
worldwide ham community for the harm you have suffered. And as I just
said in a seperate thread, it is things like this that make me think
that while governments have a right to demand the addresses of licensed
hams, it no longer has the right to publish them. That goes *double*
for hams who happen to be minors... Sadly, depravity no longer limited
to any single walk of life, and anonymity on the net is an importand
safety measure that should now go hand in hand with exercising the
right to free speech.

But there is no such thing as true UK cuisine, it is all bangers and
wellingtons and steak and kidney pie washed down with lots and lots and
lots of Guiness.

But enough about Brits, who are otherwise creators of fine cars, time
traveler shows, absurdist sitcoms, and who invented the art of sarcasm.

The Eternal Squire


Don't forget they invented the Lucas electrical system (I owned an MGB) and
whitworth tools (I also currently own a pre-unit Triumph).LOL


Ahh, Joseph Lucas...the prince of darkness. The warm beer bit comes
from having Lucas also build refrigerators. I too have been the
victim of a string of British motorcars. Triumphs and Austins and the
odd Lotus. I even race-prepped them. I also get around to flying
aboard BAE-146s every once in a while. Just like British sports cars
they are. Fast enough, handles like a housefly, not all that
comfortable and as noisy as hell with the gates open.

One thing you must take on board Poly is that these threats that anyone
receives arent from just Amateurs/CB'ers. They are from people who use a
radio just like they use forums.. to upset and bully people and to force
their sometimes vile views upon people. These people are in both Amateur and
CB circles. Its not a CB fault, its down pure and simply to "nut jobs" which
the majority of CB'ers and Amateurs arent. Unfortunately if you take a stand
against these people and your personal info is easily available for these
nut jobs then im afraid sometimes you will get threats upon yourself. Just
because you post your replys with merely a "Handle" or first name doesnt
mean your a cowering hiding lowlife, quite often its because people dont
wish to have this s_it from nut jobs thrust upon them. You can still make a
valid point without using your traceable details. I know you shouldnt have
to worry about such things but we live in the real world. As for the nut
jobs... sometimes simply ignoring them is the best thing to do. They crave
the attention. If you dont give them the attention they move on. Whatever
you say to them they will never change.......

I like Wales too really. I lived near Swansea for a year and Aberystwyth on
the West coast for about 4 years. Never had a problem with the people there
and the sheep were quite friendly too ;o)
