[TenTec] Happy Orion owners (was question about updates)

[Ron Castro]

One of the most significant purposes of this list is to discuss problems we 
are having with Ten Tec products, including the Orion. I don't think it's to 
worship TT, but maybe I missed that somehow.  Maybe all those wide-eyed, 
happy happy cheer-leaders could find the time between popping their Xanex 
pills to start a reflector of like-minded people.

Call it the  "We're so happy happy, smiley-face, everything's perfect, we 
never complain, it's always a sunny day, love love love my Ten Tec 
cheer-leaders squad list".  I'm sure all the rest of the "Stepford Hams" 
will be happy, happy, happy to join!
