If I were Scott, I consider withdrawing all advertisements from eHam until they
start acting responsibly. Second, if the
guy has reservations about TT, TT probably does not want to advertise with them
anyway. I mean I would not want to
put my money where it's not appreciated and the other company does not respect
your product.
As for the other happy TT owners out there, keep those positive posting coming
and if the children keep posting
negative ones over and over, keep posting the postive ones over and over. And
if you have a friend that has a Jupiter,
make sure you post those third party impressions since eHam says it is o.k.
Help your friends out.
