Hi James,
 
Not sure why you are so defensive.
 
>> You have come to a conclusion that is incorrect and inappropriate!  I have 
>> purchased every ER issue that contains information that is of interest to me.
 
As for the conclusion being incorrect, where in the following request does it provide the information that you have already purchased every ER issue of interest to you, that the article you want is packed up and unavailable at the moment?
 
>> Do you have a copy of the changes for the SX-117 that were in Electric
>> Radio?? I would be quite interested in that article and the author.
 
Since you were asking for a copy, with no additional information, it reads as is if you are trying to circumvent purchasing a copy. What other conclusion could a reasonable person come to, something we in law enforcement take into consideration when evaluating situations. I did not have the additional and very pertinent information that could have led me to a different conclusion.  
 
> I would be quite interested in that article and the author.
 
I'm sorry, but the above request does not make it "obvious that I needed more information ".
It only looked to me, from that sentence, that you wanted a copy of the article and to know who the author was.

As for inappropriate, I can't even begin to see where it could be inappropriate. In my case I was just commenting on Carl's position. Just think of it as a reminder to all of us about being careful when sharing information that might be otherwise "protected" and the need to support those that develop and provide this information.
 
As for writing articles, I have written for and been published in the Hollow State Newsletter, so it's not like I haven't made my own small contribution to our hobby.
 
I'm not trying to start another "flame" war, I just think that you have read too much into Carls and my comments. If all the facts had been presented at first (you already owned the copies but they weren't accessible and you wanted to contact the author for more information), I expect Carls and my responses wouldn't even have been made.
