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!!!
