At the obvious risk of throwing my self into a flame pit, I must offer a =
tad bit of support for Gil. I do so rather dangerously, not having =
fully read all his recent mail. In the past I have studied his email =
and the intriguing reactions that his posts bring (on this , and other =
reflectors , including a couple I moderate). My conclusion is that he =
is genuinely well-intended but that his writing style gets him in =
trouble. At times he has raised the type of issues that would be well =
accepted if they were from other hams. I think that at times he means =
to say "it's broke and you might like to know it" but it comes out as =
"it's broke , how dare you ! "
It is always intriguing to me that on reflectors ham's asking questions =
or making stupid points get flamed , while in amateur radio someone can =
check into a net and ask very stupid questions and be met with nothing =
but extreme politeness and kindness (75 excluded!). I think we should =
be a little kinder .
