[Hallicrafters] Please Be Advised, HCI Has Ended

Thu Jul 6 10:01:30 EDT 2006

1. HCI has nothing to do with the legally chartered Club Call, other than 
the call being used in a link to the HCI site, but there are several such 
links with no affiliation to the Club Call.

2. Fred Mooney, the web master, is the person responsible for all that 
appears on the HCI web site. However, he did not steal it, as John Brewer 
suggests, all that is there was sent to Fred by various individuals. Fred 
stole nothing. I had nothing to do with any of what John is babbling about.

3. The policies of the HCI site are clearly stated by Fred and I in many 
locations. They have been there from day number one.

4. If anyone wanted to have anything he/she donated to the web site returned 
or removed, all they had to do was to ask the web master. Not I, Fred 
Mooney.

5. John Brewer has never wanted to help, and this hate attack of his is just 
one of many over the years, not just to myself, or HCI or anything I have 
ever been involved with, but against numerous individuals and groups of all 
sorts of affiliations. He is a bitter, resentful and destructive person.

I apologize for having to say anything, but enough of this total 
manufactured nonsense from the infamous John Brewer is enough. He does not 
care who or what he destroys. Yet he sure never rises to the challenges and 
does them on his own! It is easy to be a critic, but hard to be a volunteer.
