"Mike Czuhajewski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the qrplist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sigh...kind of takes all of the fun out of it :-) Turns out the G0BPS post was tongue in cheek, intended as a joke. Hardly the first time things get taken seriously by mistake. I read him the riot act in private about stirring up some of the ancient animosities in the QRP community, and he sent me the reply (below). I asked if it was OK to post it here to explain things, and he approved. (I also retracted all of the comments I made in my mail to him.) Oh well, it was fun while it lasted :-)
73 and queue our pea DE WA8MCQ ***************** Forwarded G0BPS mail to me-- Hi Mike, What all of the people who 'complained' didn't know about my comments was that Doug KI6DS and I are friends. He has visited my house and we still correspond. It was NOT a dig at NorCal but a 'tongue in cheek' comment on a great selling technique. After reading it again I would still send it After all, all the comments are true..... It IS GREAT MARKETING, It is getting money up front and by past experience if the 200 sell he WILL do more --- NorCal 20, NorCal 40 etc .... The day that I am stifled from making comments is the day I resign from all public duties (and see below, I have a few). Read the note again - no-where do I mention NorCal..... -- Dick Pascoe G0BPS Member Kent County Council - www.kent.gov.uk And K&MFRS - www.kent.fire-uk.org President QRP-ARCI - www.qrparci.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe qrplist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: http://www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------
