No bullies on 'fone that I've ever seen, Jack. Merely moderators who
double as babysitters for a handful of the roughly 3,000 members, who
are either unwilling or unable to read and follow the few, basic rules
of the site. The fact that only a half dozen or so have been removed
in nearly a decade of operation makes that pretty clear.

As with this list, nonsense isn't tolerated from the problem children
who think it has to be all about them. It's just not fair to the other
2,994 +/- members. (o:

If only we could make that into a piece of universal knowledge, Don.
As soon as someone acknowledges the jamming, the troublemaker has all
the proof needed that he is being successful. Unfortunately, even some
long time, well-known AMers feel the need to respond. Makes no sense.

Much easier to ask for a repeat if needed, by saying "a static crash
took out part of what you said" or "my neighbor is using his welder
again", etc etc. Carry on as if they aren't there, and eventually they
get bored and look for someone else to bother.
