There's a lot of personality, here, too. Truth is, Roy has most of
it. But if Roy chooses to make a career out of participating in this
group....so what? If he's got the time and the resources....God Bless
him.

The question is....what does it matter to YOU?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It matters because his compulsive posting of irrelevant bs has driven
away many shortwave enthusiasts who visit daily and contribute
regularly to the group. Most no longer bother to even read the group
much less post because they have long ago tired of the little clique
of posters who now dominate the group.

It's like the friendly neighborhood bar that everyone that mattered
once enjoyed gathering that gets taken over by a few obnoxious
drunks. The change in atmosphere is almost imperceptible because it
happens over time. One by one the regulars stop dropping in and soon
the only patrons are the obnoxious loud mouthed few and the bar soon
goes bankrupt.

So yes, it matters sir.

Then you serious need to refocus your priorities. If you can be run
off by one poster's style...I'm guessing shortwave wouldn't be your best
choice of avocation.

The question for you Peter, is why do posters like Roy, Burr, Steve and
others get a pass from you when they are the source for most of the OT
garbage on this group? My guess is that you secretly support their
politics and world views but don't want to admitt it here. You didn't
use to be like that in the good old days. You made mostly useful
contributions and rarely responded to the OT posts. Now you almost
encourage them. What happened?
