No one is interesting in funding a private repeater for 20 guys to talk to each other about their brand new scars and brand new meds and we would be FOOLS to kowtow to people who will be dead or uninterested before we get into orbit.

Bob, Did you *really* say that? If that's truly your attitude, you may well be dead before we get into orbit! Seriously, I assume that the above comment was probably made in a private email. But, you should know that anything said in a private email can be considered public domain, and *will* get repeated. This one got posted to amsat-bb. It's the kind of statement that, taken out of context, can hurt AMSAT. Diplomacy is called for. 73, Paul
