Well said, Bill. Thank you.
Please, stop with the insinuations. It doesn't help anything and undermines any support for your position in this debate. Make a call for a vote of non-confidence or something of the BOD but stop wi...

Francis,
I appreciate your reasoned approach to this discussion. Thank you.

Thanks Rob and Marlaina!
All this talk of transceiovers and knowing that several people are renting, I wonder if there is interest from the membership in a group buy of transceivers.
