[TowerTalk] W4AN Silent Key

[Stan Stockton]

Without having any other information to base my opinion on, my guess is that
KD4E did not use this as a forum to promote his political views.  The PS and
PPS notes he had in his signature line would show up automatically in every
e-mail he sent.  His message regarding Bill was sincere.  The only thing I
can think of that would change my opinion would be if that statement were
added specifically for this posting

Although my choice would be to not include political or religious statements
in a signature line on every e-mail I sent out for what should be obvious
reasons, I don't think everyone should jump on KD4E and make him feel bad
for something that may very well have been inadvertent and unintentional.

Stan, K5GO
