Michale Bryant is an off topic spammer who litters newsgroups with his
spam and fight with another spammer. He has no consideration for the
internet so should not be taken seriously. He is trying to protect a
fellow spammer.

To Comcast,

Mike Maghakian is not running a business. The shortwave hobby is comprised of
many individuals who constantly collect radios. This newsgroup has long had
posts from radio hobbyists where they are simply selling or trading old radios
for the sheer thrill of being able to acquire one more new radio to try. I
doubt that Mike is making much, if any profit, since he, like the typical
hobbyist, seems to plow his resources back into radios. Additionally, this
activity is critical to newbies in the hobby, since eBay has driven up the
prices of used receivers, making it much more expensive to acquire used
receivers.

If you have received complaints, please realize that the group is often plagued
by malcontents attempting to get each other kicked off their ISPs. A cursory
glance at the newsgroup's history in google.com should make that apparent.

Mike Maghakian is a crucial member of the newsgroup providing an important
service to the hobby.
