I am going to be 70 years old in 6 weeks. I am a lawyer who just retired. I have had a pretty good dose of human nature in my life time. I have been around on the air for 55 years too. What do I want ?
I remember some PR that IBM had decades ago. THIMK

I joined the AMSAT BB about a week ago. I was looking for some technical assistance . . . I normally do not subscribe to "reflectors" ( bulletin boards). . . . I now have a reminder why I refrain from doing that.
I have been able to get some excellent ideas about what I am trying to do personally with my station. Thanks to those who have written me.
A little more of the belly aching and I will pull the darn plug . . . I wonder if there is this type of complaining on EME associated bulletin boards ?

Jim, Most of the lists I'm on reflect that wide variety of human attributes, including such as great helpers and constant whiners. It's what you get when dealing with a clump of humans. Yes, there is squabbling at times on EME mailing lists. The biggest contention there, as far as I can tell is the idea of whether digital modes like WSJT is a good idea, if its compatible in contests with other modes, etc.
Just like all the other lists I'm on, there are folks who disagree. You don't want lists that are all sweetness, do you?
