[Amps] High SWR,

>From another person that replied off list..

""Whether I leave or not is immaterial and it certainly wont be at the
request of someone like Scott.  Particularly since my post was rather
generic and not singling out anyone.  Guilty conscience maybe?

What is important is that the forum not become taken over by the likes
of a certain few who seem to have a high degree of emotional instability
to add to their lack of knowledge. That's a bad combination.""

Seems to me he already did go after me personally.  Oh well, I took care of 
it.

73,

Scott
