Just a couple of days ago I get an email from ARRL wishing me a Merry
Christmas from the staff. I see a nice picture and I think, "Wow!, that's
nice." Then I scroll down and it's an advertisement hawking publications.
Keep in mind the header is wishing me a great holiday, NOT "We Have Some
Great Bargains!" Also, the ARRL is SUPPOSED to be an arm that protects us
from government goofballs, not get in bed with them by taking money from Der
Fatherland, I mean Homeland Security.

Just my 2 cents.
