[Amps] AMP Reflector Quality of Information

[Dick Knol]

Pete,

Thanks for the contribution, we will see when this subject will be killed by 
the Administrator. It's getting morning time in Georgia.
My statement is not a matter of taking sides. However, I oppose dictatorship 
and censorship. As a free man in a free world I strongly support free 
speech. If that is taking sides so be it.

Cheers, Dick
PA3DUV
