"Dwight Stewart" wrote in message link.net...
Sorry about that, Mike. It was a clear over-reaction to your three (3) messages in this newsgroup about me spamming the newsgroups, mixed with a throbing toothache and not enough sleep the night before because of it. My decision to leave Amateur radio is based solely on personal reasons, including a lack of interest at the moment, other distractions in my life, and so on. As I said elsewhere, it has been fun, but it's time for me to move on. Take care. Stewart Well there you have it. The number one reason for leaving amateur radio is probably death (SK for the pnone impaired). Or maybe it's a lack of interest. No nefarious conspiracy theories necessary. I wonder what the other reasons for people leaving the ARS might be? bb |

He did not say he was trying to make any "statement". He said that here, too. But people who make a point of announcing thier departure are seeking attention for some reason. (eg: people who swallow a "handful" of "pills" then call 9-1-1 to announce what they have done...) Like I said...we'll see what happens. I say he'll be "around" Amateur Radio for a long time. 73 Steve, K4YZ |

'BYE and don't let the door . . . Reduced to quoting Larry tRoll. That one was around before you were. Actually I'm glad you popped up Putzlet, I've been meaning to ask you a question: How many contacts did you make on Field Day? However many they were, Brian, they were more than he made from Somalia ! ! ! 73 Steve, K4YZ |

The conspiracy theorists probably think he had a "REAL underlying reason" to get into the service as well. Pffft. Output from the Yell Yell is typical of the kind of responses by the jaded regulars in here, most of whom see some kind of need to yell and yell. Yell Yell made it a CONSPIRACY! Dwight wanted to sell some ham equipment. All he got in here from most (possible exception of Mike Coslo) was a lot of personal trashing commentary. Dumb. Doesn't reflect good on "the service." :-( If this was "the service" you wouldn't anywhere in sight. Fortunately for ham radio this not "the service". Putz. I hope that Stewart gets some good prices on his used gear. |

It was simply mentioned in the messages about the auctions to explain the reason for the sale of those items. When people see a lot of similar items being sold by an individual, why is often the first question asked. (eg: people who swallow a "handful" of "pills" then call 9-1-1 to announce what they have done...) Well, since I swallowed "all" the "pills" (all my ham equipment is gone), it's a little late to call 911 or anyone else. :-) And, with that, I have really got to go. Take care. Stewart |

(snip) I didn't make a point of "announcing" my departure, Steve. Sure you did. It's right here. It was simply mentioned in the messages about the auctions to explain the reason for the sale of those items. When people see a lot of similar items being sold by an individual, why is often the first question asked. And why would it be anyone's business? Just say "no longer need this item for my current activities". (eg: people who swallow a "handful" of "pills" then call 9-1-1 to announce what they have done...) Well, since I swallowed "all" the "pills" (all my ham equipment is gone), it's a little late to call 911 or anyone else. I am sure the guy who bit over $400+ dollars for used equipment that he could have gotten new for less is wondering what pills HE can swallow. And, with that, I have really got to go. Step lively. Take care. Always. Steve, K4YZ |
