[CQ-Contest] Driving at 4AM

[Pete Smith]

Now *that's* over the top!  Slavery?  Give me a break!

I think I read the same public commentary as you did, David, and I thought 
it was almost uniformly opposed to your position.  Since any controversial 
topic on this reflector tends to draw the vociferous on both sides, that 
suggests to me that the balance of contester opinion is not on your side.

I'm not suggesting that you did anything wrong, just that you *are* wrong 
on this one.

73, Pete N4ZR
