RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: SPAM was amber alert, SNOPES VERIFIED, sent to you by Dan Long
You do have a point, but there are venues for this type of message,
and this list isn't one of them.
There are a couple of things I look for that indicates to me that the
message is, or bordering on, spam. One is the use of huge fonts. The
second is the line that says: "send this to everyone you know." I
ignore those type of messages.
In addition, another person pointed out that it is over two years old.
Hardly breaking news.
My life isn't miserable, but I don't need those type of messages on a
list such as this.

While I did not originate this message or have any previous part in
it's distribution, I can only wonder, Terry, if your attitude about it
might be a little different if it's contents pertained to one of those
little boys clinging to your shoulders in your picture on QRZ. The
fact that it's two years old only adds to the desperation those
parents must be feeling over this. Don't forget, you are a living
being first (even if it is only a human) and a ham second (or third or
fourth or tenth). You would do well to try to show some compassion in
that, seemingly, miserable life of yours.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: SPAM was amber alert, SNOPES VERIFIED, sent to you by Dan Long
(1) This e-mail falsely claimed to be an Amber Alert. That's a specific process used in very recent kidnappings. This one hasn't been on Amber Alert status for over two years. (2) Crying "wolf" like this raises the noise level, and dulls everyone's level of alertness to real Amber Alerts for kids who might be found. (3) The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has its own electronic notification list. That's not what this one's for. They don't use theirs for cold cases FOR A REASON. (4) If the message qualified as spam, we're all in violation of list rules by responding to it. My e-mail client can direct all incoming messages from a specific sender directly to the trash can. Works great. It now has one more banishee.
