Excellent dodge of the statement, Dwight. You might have a future in
politics.

LOL!! My wife, who seldom makes any comment on anything pretaining to
amature radio, just walked into the room, looked over my shoulder and
upon seeing kim's call sign displayed in the newsgroup header said, "who
would be issued a call sign like that?" After explaining it was a vanity
call sign and the person requested it, her comment was, "what kind of
idiot would ever choose such a call sign?"
I ask her if she thought it was vulgar. "Not really vulgar, just
suggestive and totally lacking in taste, I suppose some people have to
get attention anyway they can".
