As usual, I'm late to the thread thanks to getting the house ready to sell.
But it's ironic - I was just having this conversation with someone recently, maybe W1UJR and marveling at how well this group handles itself overall. I belong to a number of email reflectors on QTH.net and elsewhere, and this group is by far my preferred time-burner.
We all have opinions and generally don't mind sharing them or hearing them from others - whether we agree or not. Still, there will always be someone who wants to use a benign thread for their own political purposes, or otherwise try to kick the hive in some way. No different than 'real life' in a face-to-face way. But the folks here always seem to handle it well by debunking, dismissing, or otherwise ignoring the attempt. It seldom seems to go very far (I didn't read the Ted thread, so I'm clueless there). The Inquirer must be absorbing most of it.
We seem to play pretty well together, not a lot of things get thrown around. Whether here, on the air, at Hosstraders, G-burg or anywhere else, this is a top notch group. I can't imagine it any other way. PuhLEEEEase don't change it!
And 'GT Jack - I'd really like to speak 30K with you some day soon.
