Well, Can you admit that there are people with different points of view Dave? I'm afraid you can't. We can all enjoy our hobby without condemnations Dave. Everything is acceptable in the hobby OM. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year and smile a bit OM! Winlink, PACKET RADIO or e-mail, etc. are not evil! They are just another form of DIGITAL MODES which you might not like but others like them so there!!! 73 de Demetre SV1UY
