Hate to say it but when he left the Amps group he never looked back...I expect 
the same here.

There is a dedicated group of haters here...small but they are here.  I would 
imagine their contributions to the group otherwise are insignificant (as are 
mine) and will now probably find little joy in being here without Tom to focus 
their hate upon.

And no I'm not a Tom groupie or cheerleader.  But he did bring great value with 
his accurate technical insight and interest in advancing the technical state of 
the art of 160/80m antennas and radio sport in general.

But he's not the only brain on this group...there are several others and the 
group will go on in one form or another until they get tired of the crap and 
move on as well. (Some no doubt may have already exited quietly)

I personally think discussion of RHR or any commercial look a like should be 
banned from this group....strictly!  It's a toxic subject best fought over 
someplace else.  As has already been demonstrated, it's not going to be solved 
here and only causes damage and pain.

I'm not driving the bus but if I were it would be straight to the penalty box 
with you if you brought it up or participated in it...second 
offense..ejection....but that's just my personal opinion...that and a buck 
(inflation) will get you a cheap cup of coffee or maybe a QSL direct.
