It isn't aimed at you personally or any specific list..
Every couple of years I feel the need to rant about
people splintering off into narrow groups that are isolated from
the rest of the "mil radio" community.  It's bad for the hobby
and contributes to its decline because people do not discover
new facits of their general interest, because they're not exposed 
to them.  And if anyone thinks some of these groups aren't "splinters,"
they need only look at the rolls of most of them: 30 members,
15 members, 5 members, etc.  Your specific list might be successful,
but the vast majority do nothing but isolate and diminish.
That robs us all.
