Well, it looks like all but one of the trolls who chaesed the Degen
designer from this forum rose to the bait. I guess they can't resist
bashing anything new or different. Fortunately they are a minority in
this country.

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.
