Seriously, it's a great letter. Good work, Carl.

To quote Carl's letter: "With all due respect - Hogwash".
I don't think it is a good letter at all. It would have been better if
Carl had delayed in sending it for several days, cooled his jets and had
written a toned-down response. The version he sent is inflammatory and
combative. Then again, Carl is generally inflammatory and combative.
At least he left out the "electronic paintball wars" stuff in his
description of amateur radio.

Personally I think he wasn't strong enough in his statements. The "vacuum
tube" phrase should have been attacked with a selected sample of some of the
technology firsts that the amateur community has accomplished. Perhaps even
selected info on the fast response and assembly of stations at the WTC
disaster.

However, his response was good in my opinion.
