Save your breath, Carl. We recently had a 3 day dust-up on the
milsurplus list due to Forster's condescending, superior attitude. Not
only did he learn nothing from it, one can come to see that he does it
for the attention.

It's probably a good thing that some are restricted to the 'collector'
mentality and don't have a license to transmit. There's enough similar
nonsense on the airwaves already. Rather than inviting new talent to
take up the torch when we're gone, they do their best to discourage
anyone who doesn't share and worship their tunnel vision approach to
old gear.

Fortunately, they're in the minority.
