I guess I am indecent and dishonorable, if that is what you want
to read into the above.  My point was that it is easier to just delete
it if you don't like the content, rather than adding MORE to the 
off-topic by whining about the off-topic.  It usually will die on its own
in time, and it isn't like there is a lot of other traffic on here right
now.  But being a ham, you will understand when I compare it to
someone who puts up a repeater, makes it a private machine, then
kerchunks it ones an hour just to make sure it is there.  There are
those type of people.

If the history channel is playing on TV, and I don't like the segment 
of history they are playing, I don't call the cable company and
complain... I just change the channel.  Just because I do not like
what is on doesn't mean others aren't enjoying it.  And why should
I spoil it for them, if they are enjoying it.  Too easy to switch off.

The topic on this group is often wide and varied.   The group seems
to do a good job of policing themselves.  And other than the occasional
flair-up, it runs smooth.  I have learned much from this list, and most 
of it doesn't have a thing to do with the R-390.  I thank you all for
what I have learned R-390 wise... and other.  After all, only Nolan
would think of using a basketball needle and pump to skin a cat!

Another good point.  But I am a ham.  And if belonging to a group like
the majority of the list seems to be makes me indecent and dishonorable,
I guess I will have that tag printed on the back of my QSL cards.

ANYWAY... My dog loves me!

BTW, my 5 Great Danes all love cat food.  Especially if it is made with
FRESH CATS!!!
