Well I give up. Whats done is done. I and others think you made an 
embarrassing blunder,and you don't.
I can hardly believe that anyone here is afraid to express their view of 
support for you,worried that they'll get flamed.
My guess would be that here you have the more hard-core guys who have 
been in the monitoring hobby for years and,indeed,many of whom are ex 
servicemen.
I'm a 14 year Marine Corps veteran.
The people mailing you offering words of support are likely dweebs you 
troll in from the scanner newsgroups,who think its really, really cool 
that such communications can be overheard.
Most of us here know the types of off the cuff remarks than can be 
overheard.
I used to monitor off the wall conversations on a daily basis from 
presidents,vice presidents , secretaries of states and visiting 
dignitaries on the good old mystic star network years ago,before it all 
went to satcom.
I've heard the Blues and T-birds using 4 letter words,I've heard them 
being goofy and mockingly singing the Star Spangled Banner,and got a 
chuckle out of it.
It never crossed my mind to run to the usenet and report what I heard.
If I may put it bluntly - Idle gossip is not very manly.
Thats my opinion.
Especially the closing words 'Listen..and be amazed..As I was ..." 
Struck me as something from the National Enquirer,and certainly are not 
words becoming of a responsible communications enthusiast.
Since your 'trash talking blues audio link' is still up,and it seems you 
have no intentions on taking it down,how about balancing it out with 
another link on your page,detailing the anger and controversy you've 
caused with your Blues snitch ?
After all,don't 'reporters of facts' strive to maintain a balanced view ?
One things for sure - The next time I chat with a Blue,and I've chatted 
with quite a few over the years,I will certainly not have the gall to 
inquire about the freqs they use,as I have done in the past.
