[Ham-Mac] RE: LOTW

Because Jon Bloom was compensated by the ARRL for writing the Linux and 
Windows version. The ARRL should be willing to compensate a Mac developer for 
doing a port, rather than expecting someone to do it for free. It's an insult 
to the skill of the developer.

As I've said before, it's not just Mac developers they have insulted in the 
past, it'll all ham developers.

But the ARRL isn't going to change until we get the old farts out of the 
Director positions.
