I would like to nip this thread in the bud if possible. This has proven to be a very emotional subject.
I think it is safe to say that using digital modes is something some people enjoy - and something that other people do not. This is not something that is going to change with a lot of posts to this reflector. Feel free to engage in emotional e-mails about it directly with the people who have made posts about it. Doing so here on the reflector (after reading this) will result in you being put on the moderated list. Thanks.
