[TowerTalk] Ginpole for 20 foot sections

[Stan or Patricia Griffiths]

Well, Tom . . . you are STILL a nonbeliever and you STILL have not tried the experiment
and you STILL have not made the measurements, obviously.  And you are STILL very WRONG
about this concept.  Its OK with me for you to be wrong about it if you want to, but
please quit leading others down that path . . .
