[TheForge] E-MAIL LIST RULES (ie:Ben Barrett)

[Dave Mudge]

Ben, I wasn't fussing, sorry if it seemed that way, I was reminding the
subscribers
to practice good netiquette. Had I wanted to fuss at you directly I would
have done it off line.
I do not make the qth.net rules, I just remind the subscribers.
Sorry to hear about your grandpa, my wife's dad died Thursday.
The guy was 90 years old.
