Thanks guys!
After having got G6PKS on this reflector he only lasted just over a day 
before coming off again. He gave his reason as he had expected a useful site 
for technical discussion and  information, instead he got what he described 
as a deluge of childish nonsense - a prime example of which is below - I 
have to say I agree with him. Yesterday was one of the worst. I had hoped 
this wouldn't happen again in the new year. Why can't other peoples views 
just be accepted and left at that? It's about time there was some strong 
moderation of this reflector, I know other amateurs who have left for 
similar reasons. Is this really the attitude we wish to convey, especially 
to new comers? Please stop the sniping.
Chris, G4AYT.
