[PCR-1000] list setup sucks (was best antenna)

[Manny Gonzalez]

Dale,

You need to lighten up a bit I think. No one attacked you for saying the
original whip is the best antenna. I never saw a single post saying
"Dale is wrong" or "Dale's suggestions are bad" etc.

The person asked, and I simply replied with ["MY"] opinion just as you
did. The other nonsense about "the list setup sucks" is irrelevant, I
think, to the true nature of your message to the rest of us. 

If you don't like it, unsubscribe. Plain and simple! Or create your own
list. If everyone started to complain about everything that's wrong with
everything this would be nothing but a huge complaint machine.
