[RTTY] Fwd: [GreenKeys] lack of civility

[Jeff Blaine]

What we have to do is to be well behaved in our discourse.  While that kind of language ("damn number") may be allowed in the more 
relaxed FCC standards of the day, it's a long way from gentlemanly conduct - regardless of how uninformed the guy may be.  The run 
station could just have easily resumed his CQ call and dropped the QSO.  No mess, no fuss.

Perhaps they should have done 1 minuet of research and found out what
contest it was?  Then sent the appropriate exchange? Or do we have to do
that for them too? (Tell them which contest it is and what the exchange is)
