[Elecraft] K3 P3 and KAT500

[Clay Autery]

Mr....  you've made several mistakes in judgement based on what appears
to be false assumptions.  Of course, there are also times where folks
bump heads by sheer accidental reasons...  I'd like to think we have a
case of the second type here...

You've been provided excellent information, and some truthful expression
of how you have "come across" to this group.

Frankly, I remember thinking when I read his response to you:

"He was a lot nicer than I would have been."

I chose not to write a response so as not to appear "cantankerous", but
I can't let this go.

Trust me, Jim has no pride invested in this group... he's simply trying
to help you.
Being a butt-head BACK to him is incredibly disrespectful to a very nice
man and an incredibly knowledgeable resource, and likely not your best
course of action.

Have a good day,
