I suggest we don't have time to spend on divisive conversation. After the
BPL issue has been resolved satisfactorily for amateurs why don't we pick up
the political conversation --- in the interim perhaps we should be sure that
ARRL has sufficient financial support and that whenever necessary we provide
e-mail and actual letters (they count for more because they take more
effort) in support of amateur positions on BPL.



Tod, KØTO
