Absolutely not! Is there an answer? Heck, my communication from the SECC was
to be welcomed as a new member. What the heck is C & Bls?

Bore others or maybe do a little thought provoking? Maybe someone new gets
their interest sparked from an ongoing conversation, or if all else fails,
answering questions about RTTY on the reflector? You may bore five people,
but if you spark the interest of one new person, I would think you have
achieved something.

In case the point was missed, I was not asking any questions at all.
