[Hallicrafters] Rejection

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Common sense? Al, that is the most rare form of human intelligence. You really
should not have told them about the two cents, as now some will probably use a
$.34 stamp on an envelope requesting their two cents back!	
	
The real issue is: on the Moon, if a piece of electronic spam and a piece of the
meat product Spam are both dropped at the same time from the same height, which
will impact the green cheese comprising the lunar surface first?

Come on guys...the paranoia is running away with common sense here.

The source of the strange e-mail earlier was an auto-responder that asked 
you to go to a web page and "subscribe" to be in an access list. I don't 
believe there was any malicious intent there, just poor judgement in an 
attempt to filter spam. I removed the offender until he fixes whatever he 
was trying to do. He was a ham, He was a legitimate subscriber, He was not 
a spammer nor an e-mail harvester.

The web page referred to below is my "404 page not found" error page. And 
very funny in my opinion. If you ask for a non existent page, make a typo. 
or intentionally make a mistake on ANY QSL.net or QTH.net URL you will meet 
my web server who will entertain you for a bit until it asks you to click a 
sponsors page. There are 10's of thousands of 404 errors daily on the 
servers, we redirect these to a banner add that pays up $.02-$.04 cents per 
click on a sponsor. It is one of the subtle ways we make money to fund the 
lists. wE get about $100 a month income from this. So the next time you see 
the error page have a good laugh then click a few sponsor pages for the cause.
