Without laboring on the content of this post, my advise to those
who think the same way, since you feel that you cannot be competive,
why not offer up your station to someone who feels they could
be competitive.
There are people on this reflector who appreciate the opportunity
of competing and derive more satisfaction in just the challenge,
than you may ever achieve by winning.
Sincerely,
