[ICOM] ham radio industry

[Kelly Taylor]

I think everyone needs to take a step back from DEFCON 1 on this: just
because someone asks a question about one element of a disaster in no way
means they are insensitive to the other elements of that disaster.

I doubt anyone would, or should, post non-ICOM discussions on an ICOM
reflector. Honouring the ICOM-only nature of a discussion group is not a
sign of insensitivity.
