Joseph 11,
I have held back several weeks watching what has been going on here. I admire your curiosity, interest and dedication to our hobby.
Perhaps some of your posts are not 100% fact checked, licenced, bonded, certified, insured, regulated, sworn under oath , monitored, documented or guaranteed by the FDIC.
SO WHAT--YOU TRY ! You listen and document alot of info, obviously. You post here, on your board and others as a way of spreading, correcting and verifying frequencies and channel plans. That's the whole purpose of internet message boards, to post, ask and learn. Things are changing so fast, it's the only way nowadays.

I've seen what you are going through on dozens of other internet message boards dealing with a dozen different topics, so it's not new.
I've never met you, have no idea who you are or what you are about, but here's some advice:
1. Keep doing what you are doing. If you want to limit yourself to your board, remember that there are ALOT of others that read more than one board.
2. Consider lurking for a while, as you see, I contribute very little to internet boards, cause I don't know it all, and I am tired of the BullS--t that inevitably erupts should I thoughtlessly post info that expired yesterday morning. In the grand scheme of things, it just ain't worth it.
3. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, think you know more than a HAM. Even if you are one.This comes from 30 years of experence.

TO LINDSAY: Please clean up this board. This is the finest scanning message board around. Keep it that way. No more L.I.S.R.'s. And get rid of the Post Counters, they are nothing but problems.

Loser #3 here, good post NESN. Good news, I just saw the BANNED icon on one of the sites troublemakers. Temporary I'm sure.

Well put. However on any board there are alway the people that look to stir up things and misconstrue statements that others make or report. Lindsay and Monitors do a excellant job and deserve a pat on the back.........hoser147

Hi Joseph and all,

I too have hung back and not posted to the other threads flaming you and for good reason, nothing worth commenting on until NOW. I agree with them but would have put it more gently, that is gentlemanly but I just don't want to dive into thier can of worms. I have come to know you through your posts here and there and the thing that stands out is you're going through a "phase". Whatever upset your apple cart should go away sooner or later and you'll be your good old informative self again. Maybe you need a vacation away from the forums until you get it together, at least they'll calm down a bit if you back off for a while, it's called "breathing space". Come back when you're ready, meanwhile take a deep breath and relax, then tell me about the fish.

"NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, think you know more than a HAM."
Gotta laugh at that one and laugh at myself! Sometimes I come on with my axe swinging and sometimes I get my legs chopped from under me, we're a ROUGH bunch. Right Scott? (;->)

Well said fellas, Joseph is a great kid and his work shows it! We all have times when we slip a cog so I'm glad to see some understanding out there. Pity the flamers who never took the time to know him and hit him when he's down, not fair at all, not fair to themselves either.

I don't know specifics -- but if your info is not 100% sure, then SAY IT! Or better yet - check before posting.

Don't just post something off as fact (like the 700MHz public safety system) not knowing for sure. Then when others point out that your answer is wrong, don't change the wording of the question. Just be up front.

Ok folks, this should be the last word on this topic. We've got a lot of curious folks out there, so be kind to them.

I'm closely watching these forums - and I've got a hair-pin trigger on a 1-week ban for ANYONE that blasts another forum member. Anything past that and you are gone for good.

The cleanup is in effect, and I'm getting rid of bad apples as fast as they go rotten.

Enjoy the site, follow the site ettiquete rules, and just be nice people!
