[R-390] Antidisscussions

[Cecil]

Everybody has their own personal hot buttons....and some folks purpose in life is to go around pushing buttons in search of the hot ones.

Staying out of the ditch is pretty easy...stay away from politics, religion, ethnic stuff and things that insult or harm ones family....and to many their furry friends are the same as family.  Mine are cats...just the way it is.  No reason to debate any of those things on a list on restoring vintage radio gear.  

The thing that gives this list such a great personality is that it does drift off on related items during slow periods and a bit of humor from time to time...but is always there to help someone with a real problem with a radio...and not always an R-390 series radio because of the depth of expertise that resides here. But that drift does have its lines that should not be crossed...lines of common decency...many I listed above. (Not all inclusive)

"Butt hurt"....I'm not sure what that is but it sounds painful....don't want to find out either.

I vote we stay out of the ditch and keep the fun and fellowship and avoid moderation....if not the list looses the personality it's known for...much as it did several years ago for an extended time.  (Not Don's fault....the list memberships fault). 

Let's not go there again.
