The point is not to make a whipping boy out of a specific person but 
rather to point out the fact that specifically choosing to ignore the 
instructions of the DX operator is not good or proper operating or 
etiquette.  One guy chose to do that feeling justified by the fact that 
K1N was not responding to JA callers.  If everyone did the same thing, 
everyone would be calling.  Forget the 6 in this specific case...it's 
the incessant calling -- by some who participate on this list -- that 
has to stop.  The post will not stop the problem but if it starts to 
mitigate the problem, we'll all be better off.  If no one says anything, 
it will never get better. 73, Greg-N4CC
