I have followed with some interest. Early posts had some merit but it soon 
turns into a free for all. I have had my own thoughts for many years but 
thought this was not the forum to express them since it serves little purpose. 
My feeling is the forum should be for technical information or questions. No 
doubt that amateur radio is keeping up with other forms of dissonance in our 
society. I hope we can return to the spirit of amateur radio and Tom continues 
to join us.
