Really? Quoting from the March 5 bulletin posted by you on Winlink:

"IMPORTANT ALL-USER UPDATE, March 5, 2005.

The Central Mail Server (CMBO) is being attacked by new virus's from mail
address books that contain Winlink.org addresses. These Winlink.org
addresses are attempting to put virus's back into the system. In addition,
there are approved Internet email addresses, which are also contained in
address books of infected computers that are making an attempt to enter
the Winlink system. We are catching an average of 1,500 of these attempts
daily. NO FUN!

Effective Tuesday, March 8, at 00:00 UTC, in order to protect, you, the
user, as well as your email recipients, we are going to delete ALL the
current entries in the Acceptance list, and start a new list.  To make
sure your favorite email recipients are contained in the approved acceptance
list, be certain to send them an email AFTER 00:00 UTC on March 8 or thereafter.
You may use multiple "TO" and "CC" addresses. It is a good way to also
insure that you are sending to a live and proper address."


Steve, which Winlink lie do you want us to believe?

Quoting from the ARLL letter, http://www.arrl.org/arrlletter/04/1029/, included 
in the
Report and Order on Access BPL, ET
Docket 04-37, the Commissioners wrote:

"We similarly do not find that Amateur Radio frequencies warrant the
special protection afforded frequencies reserved for international
aeronautical and maritime safety operations," the Commission said. "While
we recognize that amateurs may on occasion assist in providing emergency
communications," the FCC added. It described typical amateur operations as
"routine communications and hobby activities."

The FCC view, and that of everyone EXCEPT Winink, is that emergency 
communications are an
"occasional assist in providing emergency communications", and nobody else 
wants the
majority of the frequencies dominated by the likes of Winlink under the guise 
of it being
necessary for our health and welfare...

3.8% of HF ham radio spectrum is already available for Winlink domination by 
their
less-than-1% of US hams, if they insist on doing so, and is more than enough 
space to
devote to emergency communications. Leave the other 96% of the HF spectrum for 
other PSK31,
RTTY contesting, award-chasing, CW, MFSK16, and phone free from constant 
disruption by
unattended Winlink PMBO stations or Winlink client stations that are under the 
automatic
control of Airmail.
