And another volunteer steps up to write the script!

I wonder when people are going to wake up and realize that AMSAT is a
100% VOLUNTEER organization. Ray gives his time every week to produce
this stuff. He's been doing it for years. He isn't paid. Few people
thank him, but everyone is in line to bitch or to suggest other ways
it OUGHT to be done when there is a glitch. Same with the IT folks
running the servers -- all volunteers, giving their time.

If you want it a different way, pitch in!
