So you're just asking me to shut up. Is that what we have to look for in

the

amateur radio of the 21st century?

That is how I read it also. You (we) are being told to just keep quiet,
and that if we say anything, it will be our fault if the things we are
warning about come to pass.



Yep. That's exactly the way I read, you (Mike) read it, and you (Jim) read
it. Probably more than just us. BUT, are we surprised?

Nope!

That is status quo
in at least this group of people--i.e. rather common practice in this
newsgroup to desire that someone "shut up" if that opinion is coming from an
opposite or challenging side.

hehe, then this isn't the place to be for them. I like to come here for
the different viewpoints.

And of course, shutting up isn't an option for me.


To which I would ask Carl and Hans:

Do you really think people are so stupid that they won't think of
something unless Jim Miccollis says it?



That's a good question, but it really isn't the point. *Whether* people
"are so stupid that they won't think of something unless Jim Miccollis says
it," or not, Jim has--anyone has--the perfect right to say whatever they'd
like.

Well, yes! But it would be yummy fun to hear their answer though. 8^)
I'm not going to hold my breath tho'

Sunavagun! 8^)
