Let me start off by saying:

I have very strong political beliefs. I am guilty of responding to
politcally heated debates in this forum. Trust me, there are some people on
this forum I would dearly love to choke the life out of. Which side I'm on
is really unimportant. There are plenty of political discussion groups which
are the proper place for these political discussions.

There is one particular non-shortwave topic (a post only three days old) "It
could happen here" which I just counted had over 60 posts whereas some
really interesting shortwave posts have drawn only two or three posts. I
wonder what someone trying to get into the shortwave hobby would think?

I am not trying to control anybody or the group it's just a suggestion.
Those 60 posts previously mentioned could have been 60 new posts about the
Eton E1, a Drake, a new found frequency or even a new type of antenna.

Can we stop the name calling/fingerpointing and talk about shortwave? That's
why I come here.
