Tom doesn't post to this list, although he does know of it.
I have been writing the Federal-Military Column for the
All Ohio Scanner Club's newsletter, the AMERICAN SCANNERGRAM for many years.
He is a regular contributor to that column. He is well versed in milcom and
actively monitors milair in Central Ohio. He should do a fine job with 
the renewed column!
I even let him talk me into being the VIP spotlight for the April issue 
(I normally don't care
for doing those kind of things).

And yes, Tom along with myself are members of the elite "Scanner Scum", 
a name that
was given to us scanner nuts after infiltrating the shortwave radio 
oriented Winter SWL Fest
in Kulpsville, Pennsylvania back in 1992. The 2007 fest will mark the 
20th Anniversary of the fest!
