First, let me apologize to Steve Lare and the guys from rec.knives for
anything I've done that's made them so mad. I really just came in here
because I love shortwave radio. I didn't come in here to make
fanatical enemies.

It seems that no matter what I do, it inflames some people because I
simply post shortwave logs. Even posting logs is seen as part of my
evil plan to ruin the newsgroup.

I'm gone. Last time I went, I was gone for two years. From 2005 to
2007. That can be checked in the archives. This time I won't be back.
It's your newsgroup, guys, do whatever you want.

Again, I admit my responsibility in fanning the flames and I'm too
tired to dodge the knives anymore. I sincerely apologize to all
involved, and will leave. As a matter of fact, I'll be turning off
this AOL address within the next few days.

I'll miss many folks in here, even some that I grew to respect though
often disagreeing with them.

Good-bye and good reception,

Mike

Yes you did. You knew EXACTLY what you were and are still doing.

Oh my God. You are a freeking trip. No one gets "inflamed" because you
post logs and you know
it.

Whatever Mike. I still don't believe you.

Thank you. Oh Lord, thank you. long exhale

At least you fessed up.

Now lets watch closely, VERY closely for a "new"
member in the future.

We'll await his return in 2011 or so.

Hopefully propagation will be better by then.

They've hired at least one dufus who once claimed to have a PhD and lied about
being arrested, and who knows, there may be more dufi there.

Peter,
Sorry if you walked into the bar room and smelled
gun powder. It's a long story and I really don't feel
like typing out everything over the last three days.

Just check the archives, but pay attention to the dates to keep it all
straight. Many new characters
entered the fray so too speak, it makes for some interesting reading.

Sorry about the questions and confusion.

Steve, I will just ask you this one time.

Do you feel I got carried away in any way at all
or went too far in these last three days when it
came to Bryant?

I won't take it personal if you say "maybe"....
Just curious on your take and I won't ask again.
