Ken,

I don't recall mentioning your name or callsign in my post, sir.  I'm sorry you
took my post as a personal attack.  

The part about the email filter was said tongue in cheek, and I certainly did
not intend to tarnish your spurs.  

For a man with the distinguished background listed in your BIO on QRZ, I'm
shocked at the venomous and aggressive nature of your email.  Perhaps you should
seek professional help in curing your Texanophobia.

Enjoy our hobby and your K3 when it arrives.  Perhaps you and I can use our K3's
for a friendly CW QSO in the future.

73,
Tom, N5GE
