[AMPS] apology

[Joe Subich, W8IK]

Will, 

I am sorry you lacked the conviction to stay with your original 
decision.  Like, I'm sure, a great number of readers of this 
reflector, I have learned to hit the "DELETE" key for many of 
Measures' posts (unfortunately he so inserts himself in EVERY 
discussion that I cannot automatically filter his posts without 
rendering the entire reflector output useless).  However, when 
he began mail bombing the entire list directly with posts that 
"thought" were not being reflected, HE CROSSED THE LINE.  

Again this morning I had to dump several pieces of his trash ... 
every one of which were, if fact, handled properly by Majordomo. 

While Measures has a viewpoint and, while less often than he 
believes, does make a contribution to the knowledge base here, 
his behavior and general lack of on-line etiquette are not 
appropriate.  That behavior has driven away several much more 
qualified contributors and reduced the overall quality of 
discourse.  

Until Measures apologizes publicly to this group for his 
childish mail bombing (and abuse of the subscriber list), 
can keep his postings to a technical level, and cease the 
snide comment/one line "right on" posting attached to a 
fully quoted message, I urge you to take courage in your 
initial conviction an unsubscribe him.  His technical 
contribution, although prolific, does not excuse the 
inappropriate behavior. 

73,
   ... Joe Subich, W8IK/4
