[ForSale-Swap] Commercial Advertising on this list?

[J. Gordon Beattie, Jr., W2TTT]

Hear! Hear!
I LIKE PROMOTING HAM RADIO!
Let's not be silly, as the ARRL is doing more than most to promote this
service and the fun and satisfaction of helping others and learning new
things, both technical and social.

First, what is "commercial" about a nonprofit organization?

Second, if you object to the ARRL's Hello Radio program, in my opinion, you 
are apt to be an ill-informed twit. Hopefully, you aren't an IIT. But, if
so, 
please follow that famous line from Stalag 17 . . .

Third, I didn't see ANY of you complaining when the Icoms were given away in

a rather "commercial" manner in order to support the mailing lists. Should 
they have taped over the Icom emblems a` la PBS?

Fourth, maybe, just maybe, Al and the guys decided to call attention to the 
Hello Radio program because they are committed to the furtherance of Ham
Radio!

I second the "get a life" suggestion.

Regards,

Bill
