[ForSale-Swap] SWAP: FT-8900R & 2 Laptops for Newer Laptop

[Woody]

Duane:

You are completely out of line.  As a list moderator, you should be even 
more aware that your response to Doc's posting was absolutely wrong.

Lots of Hams buy and resell equipment to supplement the expense of this 
hobby.  I have not seen any postings indicating that Doc has been dishonest 
in any way.

You owe Doc, and the list an apology.
