Wow. Specifics.

I can't comment on this one way or the other.

Perhaps. Considering the campaign you have waged against others, though,
you're in no positon to complain.

I don't know the facts related to this allegation. I will, however, point
out that actions have consequences, and filing a bogus lawsuit to try to
force through a result that would not have otherwise been the decision of
the members of the Society - and, in the process, costing thousands of
dollars in legal expenses - is going to get people angry at those who did
that.

If I were a tower owner, I would not wish to have a customer who was known
to file frivolous and meritless lawsuits.

It hasn't landed in my mailbox yet. Perhaps the same spammer who sent one
out just before the FM Society meeting last August will grace me with his
presence again.

If, as I suspect, it's yet another smear campaign against Armadillo, there's
little point. If it's another smear campaign against me like the one
conducted on the Texas_VHF_FM_Society mailing list, there's even less point.
