Oh, you are so right, asshole ! I have only been in the IC for 20+
years,
so think what you may ! So what is your profession ? Collecting and
over-paying for soon-to-be-useless SW radios ? You have to be a
nerd-ball
geek, with his own "ham shack". Are you skinny witha crew-cut, or fat,
with
a huge beer-belly from hunkering down in your "ham shack", chasing that
elusive DX signal. Obviously, you and the other nerds lack the social
skills, to effectively deal with antagonistic people, or even people in
general !

Thanks, I'm glad we finally agree that you really have no background in
IT or IC.

My oh my, but you are excitable today. So excited that you had to send
the same message twice.

I've found that antagonistic people will ramble on and endlessly repeat
information, but they usually are listening to themselves.
Consequently it can be entertaining to poke and needle those with such
a personality shortcoming and watch the results.

Then why do you give me so much attention ? This is obviously
upsetting you ! Actually, it is most entertaining watching all of you
react to every one of my posts. Have you found any elusive DX signals
? Life, as a "DX hound", must get pretty lonely - I'm sure that is all
you talk about and nobody gives a ****. So how many usless,
over-hyped, over-priced SW receivers have you purchased ?

If you so thoroughly dislike the hobby of shortwave radio listening,
the people involved and the equipment then why are you here. You seem
to be exerting an unusual amount of energy posting nasty messages and
just generally trying to be negative.

Why not redirect that energy and get interested in a hobby that you
enjoy. Find some like minded people, kick back and trade some helpful
and interesting posts.

I still have the dilemma, whether I should wipe my radio with a soft
cotton cloth, possibly, eventually wearing off the finish and paint off
the buttons, or can I stand using a radio that has my fingerprints on
it ? Also, if I get a blemish on it, or drop it on the carpeted floor,
can I stand using a defective radio, or should I break out one of my
backup radios ? If I use a backup radio, then I have only one,
"new-in-the-box", knowing that the radio has been discontinued. But if
I continue using the defective radio, I can always look at the two,
"new-in-the-box", with the security that I have two backups. I don't
know which is worse, using a defective radio, or only having only one,
"new-in-the-box". But if I have only one, then I could consider
getting two, or three, new E10s off Ebay, and throw my remaining,
"new-in-the-box", RS radio away. But if I get the E10s, and a better
radio comes along on a really good sale, would I face the same dilemma
again, as my RS radio ? But then again, what happens if someone has
opened up the E10 boxes and touched the radios ? Would they still be
considered, "new-in-the-box" ?

Once again, thanks for all the attention !

You're a sad, sorry, little man. You have my pitty.

There's also the case of the new electonics smell, that we all cherish,
when we open up a radio, for the first time.
That may be the deciding factor, whether a radio is new,
"new-in-the-box", or old, "new-in-the-box", In the case of the lucky
gentleman that has a DX-440, "new-in-the-box", if the box is not
sealed in plastic, and has lost its new electronics smell, we could
still say it's, "new-in-the-box". My RS radios' boxes were not sealed
in plastic, but appeared untouched by human hands, so I can say
cautiously that they are, "new-in-the-box". The RS sleazy salesman said
that he had an Eton E10 sealed in a plastic box, which I would have
kept as backup, but I was unable to find another one sealed in a
plastic box, so it may have been touched by someone else, and thus
would have not been, "new-in-the-box". If I had a new radio unsealed
in a plastic box, then I would hesitate in opening the box to look at
the radio, because it would lose some of its smell and be less,
"new-in-the-box" How does one deal with such dilemmas ?

You all still didn't give me any solutions to these dilemmas.

Have you contemplated suicide?
