Hi -bb, I do not know if I speak for a large number of receivers from the amsat - bb - but it is sometimes difficult to read and understand the "finer" details of such a conversation as has taken place over the last days. That is when our first language is not English/American.
It started with John's e-mail, which was not easy to understand in any other way than a large criticism of the way AMSAT is run these days. May be it looks different for people with a better mastering of English - but to me it appeared very negative and non constructive. If there are mistakes on the homepage - why not just point that out, and that is it ?
Criticism can be positive and constructive and lead to improvements for the better of AMSAT worldwide - but unfortunately also to the opposite.
Please (all) try to be constructive and positive. I think most of us will appreciate that :-)
Hope this e-mail is understandable. My native language is Danish. 73 OZ1MY Ib
