[TowerTalk] Off Topic, Sorta....

[David Kozinn, K2DBK]

I very rarely post here, but I'm going to throw in my 2 cents this time:
Just because someone puts "Off Topic" in the subject of the message doesn't
mean it's OK to keep discussing the subject. Yes, I know how to hit the
delete key, and I can even trivially set up a filter to trash this entire
thread, but that's not the point, is it?

Can we (you?) get back to talking about towers so that those of us who are
still tower-less can have something fun to read about? Please?

73,
