Richard,
Please consider taking the attacks on others offline. If you have something
personal against Tom, perhaps you should discuss it with him, if he is

The ax-grinding only serves to obscure the excellence of this reflector and
the
people using it. I would hate to see this reflector end up like the
rec.radio listserves.
Thanks,
Bill N4ALG
