[CW] Approaching 100WPM

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Craig signed up just prior to the post he made.  I do not moderate new
members posts although we've had problems with people joining the group just
to sell something, make a post and scram.

I don't know how many email lists he used, but a few emails of a nature
relating to money are not prohibited, but I do think that joining just to
make money or in this case, beg money, is in poor taste mainly because there
are other avenues of asking for this which isn't so much in your face
especially when many find self-promotion in poor taste.

I would not have a problem with posting to the list a wish that we or
perhaps a commercial radio manufacturer would sponser a child, or a disabled
person as many times they CANNOT do for themselves.

I believe to ask for something that you can afford, or can earn is a
character defect which is all to common and disgraces the asker.

Most people in my generation would be so embarrased to ask something like
this that they are also embarassed to ask for what they truly need when they
cannot do it even from family and friends.

One time I gave in charity to some amateur radio operator money that I saved
by doing without, only to find that he had a beautiful BMW automobile and
the latest Kenwood radio and a large beam and amplifier.

I hurts when people if taken advantage of, so be careful out there.

Our local club takes equipment from silent keys - good working equipment -
and they sell it for scholorships.  In my view, the several new hams could
have been a better choice of the use of the radio equipment.

I hope Craig will stay and contribute from this list rather than make a post
and then leaving.
