[Elecraft] Is it just me?

[Jim Rhodes]

When I get an email like this when I reply to a message on a forum like
this I get the impression that someone just wants to be heard but doesn't
want to hear. Also when I tried the link it said my message had already
been deleted, in 12 hours, not 3 weeks? Guess who goes in my spam folder
from now on.
