But of course, we all know you're an expert on everything, right Bob? When
in doubt, use copious amounts of exclamation points to appear right and
knowledgeable!

First off, I happen to like the BC-610 just fine. I only sold mine because
of a move in my future and the need to lighten the load and was sad to see
it go. So I really have no idea what you're talking about(big surprise).
The only problem I recall having was breaking one of the 2A3s, and a list
member gave me a pair to replace it. Horrid person that I am, he wouldn't
let me pay for them. When I found them last year and told him I was
shipping them back, he said to sell them on ebay and put the money toward
my daughter's college fund. [Sorry Greg, you won't find that on Google
either]

I wonder if you're confused yet again, Bob. Like that time on the AMRadio
reflector when you accused Ron/W4RON of not QSLing a contact with you -
remember that? He politely told you that you were mistaken, confusing him
with someone else. You insisted. He firmly told you that you were mistaken.
You called him a liar and spouted more stupid, rotten gibberish. Then
someone else on the list pointed out who you were *really* talking about.
Turns out you were wrong. Huh. Never did see you apologize to Ron, only say
that you were 'human and make mistakes'. I should've thrown you off the
list then and there, but Jim felt sorry for you and wanted to give you
another chance. Again even, since you'd caused trouble before and gotten
"another chance" previously.

This is what happens when you spend to much time on the 'net, Bob. We've
had numerous private exchanges about it when you were making a nuisance of
yourself on some list(your endless posts leave me at a loss for where). So
I can't say I'm surprised to see you jump on the bandwagon with Greggie at
the opportunity to be seen as 'someone in the know'. If only you really did
know. What you were talking about, that is.

Hope you didn't feel too disappointed that I didn't respond to this sooner.
unlike you, I actually have a life beyond the internet with a wife and 2 yr
old daughter as well as many other interests beyond radio. Actually got on
here to check on shipping a car from Washington state to here, or you
might've had to wait several more days for your response, which I know is
important because in your case
<response=attention=satisfaction=accomplishment/sense of worth>. Made clear
by your bizarre posting habits.

My apologies to the list for responding to this garbage and giving these
two yo-yos the attention they clearly were seeking. But I seldom post
anymore, and sometimes you need to get down in the gutter to remind
yourself how lucky you really are. And it's late, so.....good night.
