[PaQSO] ENOUGH Already!

[C. Michael D'Alto, K2CD]

With all due respect, Blair, I think it's a good idea
that folks express their opinions, suggestions, etc. 
The sponsors are in no way obligated to accept them,
but I think it's appropriate for the actual
contestants to air their concerns and suggestions. 
While I don't personally agree with some of the
proposals, I don't feel there is any harm in voicing
them.  I'm enjoying the amount of activity on the
reflector.
