[Heathkit] All Subscribers, Please Read

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Gentlemen,

Lets stop the flame flinging, insult hurling and suggestive comments on ones 
family tree! Everyone is entitled to disagree, or agree, with another. 
However, this list is for Ham Radio, which is a hobby, and is intended to be 
informative and helpful. It is not to attack another subscriber with whom 
you may not agree.

If you feel obligated to hurl a derogatory spear of inflamatory words, then 
please fling it off the list and directly at the spot marked with a large 
Crayola Blood Red "X" on the frontal lobes of your opponent. PLEASE do not 
do it here! The only thing doing so here accomplishes is to make others 
angry and before long we have a full blown fire fight going and somebody has 
to call in for air support with a flame retardent foam being sprayed by an 
airborn tanker!

So please agree or disagree, but keep it friendly and keep it impersonal!

Remember, there is this key on your keyboard marked "delete". If you come 
upon an e-mail that inflicts agony upon your Ego, just press that 'delete' 
key and it all goes away. POOF! On my custom designed keyboard I have said 
key clearly marked with an image of the American toilet, AKA the white 
porcelin throne. When it is depressed, the sound card emits the actual 
recorded live and now digitized sound of a toilet flushing and then this 
very low voice says "And down go the mean old jerks!" It always amuses me 
and perks my spirit right up.

Enjoy the list, gentlemen, but please reserve your less than complimentary 
remarks for those private moments off this list.

Thank you "all" for your cooperation.
