I am an opinionated SOB, that is correct.

And along with that comes being criticized.

However, I will not apologize to any ham who gets on the ham bands on my 
frequency and sends (in a chirpy note I might add)

LID de N7MAL

...as he has done in the past few months when he has heard my call on 
the air.

N7MAL and I had a disagreement, on one of the reflectors, he has 
slandered my name and he has decided it is best to slam me whenever he 
can as some sort of vendetta... fine.

As much as I would love to irritate the hell out of him by not 
responding to this post from him I cannot.

I apologize to the reflector subscribers for your having to view this 
display, I do not apologize to any users of CT "legitimate" or not for 
my earlier comments.

Basically those comments were on the order of "hams are cheap", based on 
what I feel are some of the motivations for others desiring other 
contest's support from K1EA.

K1EA gave us computer logging, others have followed... but, still there 
is no better overall package than Ken's... I am sad he has made it 
freeway as there will undoubtedly be those who moan and gripe about non 
supported contests rather than thanking him for making their quality of 
life better by bringing logging computers into our shacks.
