[PPRAANet] Fw: Another Gazette price increase coming!

[Dick-w0raa]

I apologize to all.  I sent the price increase notification as regards the 
Gazette in hopes that you might want to know about it.  Obviously it has 
caused tears in some eyes, which was not the intent.  The intent was totally 
informational.  Again, I apologize.

To whom it may concern (i.e. the one who controls reflector subscriptions) -

I don't mind getting radio related traffic from the reflector.  For most of 
it, I can get the jist of it from the subject line.  Occasionally I'll open 
it and read for more detail or clarification.  And some of the ones I open, 
I save because they contain information I want to keep.

If the purpose of the reflector is to distribute ham radio related traffic, 
please keep me subscribed.  However, if the purpose is to simply provide a 
forum for any issue any subscriber has, regardless of content, please 
unsubscribe me.  I don't' care how much the GT costs or what anyone else 
thinks of it; I'll make my own decisions on those kinds of issues.  Thank 
you for hearing me out.
