Fred,
Thank you for putting into words the thoughts of many (I am sure) on this
list.
I detest people who appear to speak with authority but provide no data or
facts with which to back up what they proclaim and who hide in anonimity, for
what reason? Surely someone who who is honest has little reason to hide
their identity.
Of paramount importance is your statement about one of the differences
between CB and Ham radio........that of being open about our identity and
wanting to create a close bond of friendship and fraternity.
I am in agreeemnt with you 100%.
