> Today, I had the pleasure of receiving an OO card
I had one a couple of years ago, although I was in the wrong. I sent the guy a
letter (or e-mail, can't remember which) and explained the circumstances (it was
an honest mistake) and he was so blown away that he didn't get ripped, he sent
a copy of my note to some of his fellow OOs, and a thank you note to me.
My suggestion is to send a reply quoting the source you cite below and state
your respectful disagreement with his conclusion, but that you appreciate his
efforts. Copy the relevant parties, including the FCC.

I would think so based on what you said, although there is always another side
to the story...
Engage in a dialogue. Maybe the too of you aren't thinking along the same lines.
