Dear Caveat emptor,
If you want to abuse people in general go some where else and do your dirty
work.
You are not man enough to even identify yourself with a call sign. You've
got real problems.
Let's stick to technical stuff and respect each other. Don't paint everybody
with the same brush.
Bert, VE3OBU/SM7BUR
PS. I believe Worldcom, Enron and Adelphia are American companies!!!

Be VERY careful about crooks with Canadian callsigns! I don't know HOW they
get them or WHY the DOC and RCMP can't stop them.
There are several of them. Now to be fair the VAST majority of Canadian hams
are honest, trustworthy fellers, but several U.S.
hams have been "bitten" by crooks holding VE7 and VE8 callsigns
over the past 7-8 years.
Again, NOTHING against Canadian amateurs in general, but it is
the only country I know of that has licensees that repeatedly steal
on a regular basis. This has been well documented in the
Usenet newsgroups and on the Yahoogroups Badham list.
