The sad part is that it was a group with such a narrow view of the
world that different cultures are threatening. Someone told me the trolls have morphed into gangs on some of the news groups. This news group is not there yet, but it is getting closer. That was probably the first and last time someone from the radio manufacturing industry will ask this group for their opinions on the design of a new radio. It was truly a unique opportunity to actually have some input into the features we would like to see on a radio. And we collectively blew it because of the immature behavior and xenophobic attitude of a few. Congratulations guys. You accomplished something that I'm sure you are proud of and will take home and brag about to your family. lsmyer wrote: That was one of the most painful threads I have ever read. I was excited to find out that the 1108 was going to become a reality. I am a big fan of Degen and I hope to place my order for this radio the very first day it goes on sale. I was even more excited (or even awed) to see that the engineer who was responsible for two of the best radios this decade (Sat 800 and DE1103) was actually sharing his time and energy with us, and was even letting us, the listening and buying public, to help him design the best radio possible. But then the xenophobic ranting started. I was shocked at first, but I hoped that it was just a poorly executed cute remark that fell flat. But the rantings continued. And there was definitely nothing cute about it. It was intentionally mean, and I was horrified to realize that a fellow American and dxer would stoop to such ignorant and mean-spirited rantings. The thread then got too painful to read. I immediately blocked the offending poster, but the memory of his ignorant ranting still sticks in my craw. In fact, looking back, I can't even remember exactly who that hateful poster was. I think he was a regular here, but his postings no longer appear on my computer, so I can't be sure. I hope that wonderful engineer is able to forgive that crude offender, and that he doesn't hold all of us responsible for such horrible and unacceptable behavior. |

If you did your idiotic statement would send you hiding with your tail between your legs. Congratulations guys. You accomplished something that I'm sure you are proud of and will take home and brag about to your family. In a few years this comment of yours will be turning on you. |

And you know nothing of my heritage, yet accused me of being Liypn in this forum, and asked what village I was from. |
