[SOC] Signoff

[peteclough at aol.com]

I guess I was mis-led as to the intention of this group. 
As I did not put it together that it was not just a bunch of folks 
mostly Ham operators with a warped sense of humor at all levels making inane comments
about everything, Mostly personal Goof Ups and slips. Like I did on some radio equipment
Those who had not imagination used harsh (sometimes funny) jokes and stories.
.
Then I read the ;post that this group had it's roots in pure HAM radio
poking fun at the ridged un forgiving A! Op group. 
 This was never explained to me so I fell into the "Anything Goes, Kind of." mode that was prevalent when I got here..
 I thought it was fun for the most part the ones that I didn't agree with or necessarily care for, I just deleted. 
Now that Im properly indoctrinated, I will reserve and restrict my comments and
observations of the ridiculous and focus purely on Ham radio. So, therefore I will
probably have NOTHING to say .. Ha.. (QUIT APPLAUDING ha)
Dang, I was just starting to enjoy the banter with some of you too.. 
OK.. Let's see.. Ummm.. Ham Radio is fun for some and an obsession for others. 
Man, is that ever going to be BORING..No fun.. Just like some people like it to be.. IE, Moderator of the 817 group.
