Hi Guys, 
I’m fairly new to the list. I believe this is my first  posting. Bear with 
me if I’m way off base.  I originally subscribed  because “GreenKeys” was 
referred to me as a good possible source to find a  Teletype reasonably cheap…
 I was looking for a Model 33 Teletype with paper  tape reader & punch. I 
wanted to get a feel to see what GreenKeys was all  about.  Earlier today I 
received GreenKeys Digest, Vol 110, Issue 45.   
For those that don’t receive GreenKeys in digested format,  it featured the 
following articles: 
Today's  Topics: 
1. Re: Close  enough? (Peter Gottlieb) 
2. Re: and now,  for something completely off-topic (Kevin DeW 
itt) (Peter  Gottlieb) 
3.  My  Post RE: Don House - - - Off Topic?? At This Point, Who 
Cares???.... (Christian  Gauger-Cosgrove) 
4. Re: and now,  for something completely off-topic  (Kevin DeW 
itt) (Peter  Gottlieb) 
5. Re: and  now,              for something completely off-topic  (Kevin 
DeW

My question are these: 

Did I subscribe to this in error?  Is the a  technology themed digest 
related to amateur radio or is it something  else?  With the exception of topic 
#1, I’m not sure what #2 thru #5 had  to do with Amateur Radio or TTY or 
anything remotely close. Lending it a  cutesy subject line doesn’t mitigate the 
fact that it was: 
1)       Vitriolic in nature. 
2)       Totally unrelated to Amateur radio and/or  teletype. 
3)       Is this digest total anarchy or is it actively moderated, but  off 
topic postings laced with profanity is cool? I ask because the only thing  
that I saw in the QSL.NET ACCEPTABLE USE POLICIES that pornography won’t 
pass  muster. What is this list’s charter / purpose?  
My apologies if I’ve  inadvertently subscribed to a transcript digest more 
reminiscent of some HF  band exchange between angry ops that have migrated 
all the way  from “my  swollen prostate gland” to “Buy Made In The USA” or 
if I’m otherwise mistaken  about its purpose. I’m not here for your P&M 
sessions guys! Honest. I hear  enough venting & rage in my job. I don’t prefer 
it in my recreation. If  I’m mistaken, please let me know.  If so, I will 
unsubscribe. If I am not  mistaken, then I’d encourage the posters to get 
their respective acts  together, swap email addresses, pick a frequency or 
otherwise find some other  forum for their angst. I’d rather get ONE quality 
digest every 2 months, than  2 or 3 a month full of venom like this issue.  
I’d encourage the moderator  to either set me straight, or address the 
issue. 
Sincere 73  all… 
--Pete
