Comment On This News Group

There is a lot of good stuff here, but also an incredible amount of junk.

Another place to reasonably discuss Amateur Radio is at the Yahoo Groups.

http://groups.yahoo.com/

Search for "Amateur Radio" get over 1200 places to discuss your interests,
mostly without flames, insults, off-topics, false information, and the
stupidity that is prevalent here.

If you think this newsgroup is bad, take a look at some of the
soc.culture.* groups
sometime. Have heard that soc.culture.india is almost all flame wars.
