I see, so now you have made the decision for them to advertise wherever and
whenever you want?  Let's be clear;  there are many SMART people out there
who know where to find contest info whenever they want it.  It is
unnecessary for you pretend that you need to provide this service for them.

I see, so now you also speak for all those people for whom you claim to be
able to read their minds?  Why don't you give me the SPECIFIC names and
callsigns of these people and let me hear from them directly.  I'm sure you
can't and your that allegations are misrepresentations, as usual.  As far as
your innuendo goes, you have a nasty habit of lashing out at others with
innuendo when criticized for inappropriate behavior on your part.   You
never can provide meaningful details because there are none.

This is nonsense.  FQP has a large enough following that people know where
to find the info if and when they want it.  They also know how to access
CQ-Contest and other sites if and when they want.  Your pretense that you
need to "help" these people is patronizing to them.  They are smart enough
to know how to set up a station, antennas and many other things.

This is about your continuing to post FQP messages on reflectors whose
topics are NOT about FQP contests.  Perhaps N6TR, K7LXC or some others who
have previously addressed this with you can make the point more eloquently
than I.

I see, so now it is also necessary for you to criticize me for not
participating in FQP?  With that kind of attitude you can be sure that I
won't participate.

This is my last reflector post on this subject.  Jim, if you feel compelled
to email again, then please do it privately to me and off the reflectot!
