[DX] VP8THU video

Charles,

You continue to vent your spleen over the VP8THU operation.

Have you seen even ONE request for donations from THAT group?
If so, then please provide evidence.  

If NOT, then you owe them an apology for your undeserved slander.

Your comments may apply to some other operation(s) but NOT
the one you are criticizing so vehemently.  Please get your
facts straight before making undeserved accusations against
innocent parties.

>From the VP8 Press Release:

> A few important points:
 > 
 > 1.      This DXpedition is funded entirely by the 12 team members 
 > and a grant by the Northern California DX Foundation.  There are 
 > no club, individual, equipment or QSL sponsors.
