At the risk of this thread taking off. I would to agree with Mike here.
Perhaps some are a bit quick to post a question on the reflector. But
whats the harm.
I'd like to relate something that I have seen happen here in the ham world.
Probably nearly 20 years ago, when quite a few of us here were new to ham
radio everything was new and exciting and some of the keen ones started
doing some awards on the 2 meter repeaters. Well the old farts got there
nickers in a twist and started making niggly noises about all the activity
on the repeaters. Well today those same repeaters are out there and they
sit there quiet all day not a peep. The old farts have moved on, and so
have the new ones.

I have never posted to this reflector til now... and I'll make it short
and sweet
I enjoy reading these postings and get a lot of good information concerning
Writelog.
In light of events of the past month it seems to me that those recently
attacking users on this reflector put much too much import to this thing we
call a hobby and specifically contesting.
I love contesting and participate as often as possible. I think an "ELMER"
attitude would be in order and such outbursts to publicly chastise are not
in the spirit of the Amateur Fraternity.... you'll not have to concern
yourselves with postings from this Ham of 25 yrs and good luck to you all.
Its no wonder there are those concerned about the future of our great
hobby.
I believe an apology is in order....
With humble concern
MIke
