Dave,
You have made your point again very vigorously. !
I agree with you.
As Jim, W5IFP said earlier, "Be nice.......This is a hobby !"
(This is what I am trying to get across.)
We need to take a moment to read the message we are about to send
and ask ourselves is this a constructive response or will it be degrading
to the recipient. With a little care we can make our point and tailor
our criticism
to be supportive. I feel that sometimes we are discouraging and driving
people away from the reflector.

Mine as well. I'm just plain tired of old wives tales and unfounded
claims cluttering up our hobby. This is nominally supposed to be a
technology-based pursuit and we have tools to help us understand
what's going on. Willfully ignoring them to make absolute claims ("a
loop is always better than a dipole"???) based upon uncontrolled
anecdotal evidence sets the hobby back.

Well, I get really tired of "don't bother me with theory, my
anecdotal experience trumps physics that is clearly understood by
those who take the time to study it."
I guess that's my problem. :)
