Topband: Brave New World

[john]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh,,, they ,(the operators), are actually physically 
there--they are not in my opinion , hired guns, that description  is 
unnecessarily unkind and  incorrect , in my opinion, they are operating  
radio(s) on site..on site being the key
I appreciate the efforts of  w3lpl's et al stations  and their 
efforts... Other than you having an  apparent  issue with big gun 
stations and club ,   the (your), problem is????
for the record I am about as far from being a big gun station as you 
could get..
    I guess it is up to each of us to decide  what is right and ethical 
, but for me, until I am slapped into a nursing home,,, Ill take the on 
site,(real radio) ,  every time...guess it is personal choices   dx 73
