Les,

That is a wonderful suggestion/request and I wish it would happen, but it won't. The situation has become too toxic and I fear that it could be a long time before it levels out. When the Election is concluded. do I think that will be the end of the discord? Remembering from an old Seinfeld episode, "Not bloody likely!"

Meanwhile, the BB Messages still go to Spam. I might read one rarely before the file gets trashed, but the key word is rarely. If the irritating discussions continue after the Election, the BB will stay as Spam! I only read yours because the title appeared to have something to do with using Satellites versus all that other "stuff".

We’ve voted—and regardless of the outcome, it’s clear that there are some issues facing the organization that need to be ironed out.

In the meantime, can we return this e-mail list to the discussion of working amateur satellites? My days and nights are filled with politics—and now my hobby too. It’s just too much.

With all due respect.
