[Hallicrafters] SX-88: stop already!

[Spike Dennis]

Well, I'm one that's not "all riled up". Know why? Because very early on I started deleting everything with SX-88 in the subject line without even glancing to see what it was. Now, I don't have a clue whats going on but it sure looks like I was one of the few smart ones!

Subject: [Hallicrafters] SX-88: stop already!

Just to set the record straight: they was no fray on AMfone, you did try hard though, you decided to try to hijack the discussion and demand that we all bow down to you and agree about how superior the SX-88 was, in fact there was no fray at all because we all left, saw it coming, another good promising thread ruined because of a contrary, instigating hijacker. The thread stopped short because most of us know a hijacker when we see one and also know that it is useless to try to change a hijackers mind and know what happens when we indulge one, case in point: look what's happened here over the past few days, everyone's all riled up. Now why can't we stop this ridiculous thread about which receiver is best. We all have our favorites but most of us have enough brains to keep it to ourselves and not drive each other nuts with our personal preferences. I guarantee that if we all stop this SX-88 hijacker will try to start it up again, guys like this live to
 irritate others, don't let him. The next time he posts let there be silence, hijack ended, peace starts, another beautiful day, y punto.
