Fwd: Re: [Elecraft] Solder in Elecraft kits

Dear Mr. Brown:

Yes, I was serious.  If you disagree, rather than
insult me, why not make an intelligent argument to the
contrary?  Many others did.

After ordering my first Elecraft kit and reading the
hoards of material on the importance of soldering, I
thought (I regret now publicly) why not just put
solder in the kit? (Like Heathkit used to do.)

You have to draw the line somewhere, I thought I made
a pretty cogent argument to draw the line just a
little further north to include solder.  Where did you
get the idea I wanted something for nothing?

Don't worry about responding to me on this list.  I'm
unsubscribing right after I post this.  (I'm sure the
moderator will kill it anyway)

Between this and the other responses to my (what I
feel was) inconsequential babbling about solder I will
exercise my right to turn this reflector's on/off knob
fully CCW.

If I have any problem with my kit, I'll call Elecraft
on the phone.  If I make a mistake, I'm sure they will
be more gracious.  Goodbye.
