You KNOW all elmers personally, right? Why don't YOU continue to alienate
and denigrate all the others who have been on HF much longer than you, who
have worked HF comm 24/7 longer than you've been alive? Since you aren't
out getting ready for emergency work on Isabel, why don't you start a
petition for an RM with the FCC to make the 'ARS' the Archaic
RadioTELEGRAPHY Service.

What in the world are you talking about, Len? Have you been into the sauce
again? I have nothing but respect for the Elmers in the ARS. I might not
always agree with them, but I sure would never get in an argument over a
repeater with one. That's just pure disrespect.

BTW, thanks for mentioning Isabel. We *have* been working very hard
tracking her and making preliminary preparations for a possible evacuation.
Fortunately, we didn't have to implement them this time around. But thanks
for caring about my job. It's touching, really.
