[Elecraft] Your Opinion: The realities of QRP vs. QRO

[Mike-WE0H]

He had a wink after his 'QRP RULES!' statement. Winks, as in just 
joking, giving you guys some crap, ha ha ha , hi hi hi...that sort of 
thing. I seriously doubt anyone here is bashing or calling anyone out, 
it's all fun, to each their own, don't push this or that upon someone 
unless they ask, you know, be happy. Text emails don't show emotion, and 
feelings don't get understood because of this. Tongue in cheek, smile, 
it's Friday!!! Yea!!!  hi hi...

73,
