[Antennas] which beam

Mon, 29 Apr 2002 18:39:19 -0600

Alan,

My two bits worth!

IMHO - when one posts something on a reflector for all to read, you are
exposing yourself to public criticism. This has been an ongoing scenario. If
you don't want  public opinion then don't send it "Reply-All". If you don't
want to be criticized then just keep it amongst the two of you, and that way
there won't be ruffled feathers.

Take care and God bless.

Ron, N6PWW
