[TenTec] E-ham Bad Orion Review

[Bill Rowlett]

If it is keep to a discussion of a problem, great, but the tone of many of 
the post from those having the problems are too negative to start with. This 
tone is what gets people up-set, not the problem. Keep your tone civil and 
state the problem, and all will be well taken.
