Re: Nice

Your right take it with a grain of salt.

Personally I can care less what Hams want or BPL users want.

It would be nice to see people stop acting like there arm is being removed slowly. Or there liberties are being taken away.

All I hear is pouting/crying, and the you don't understand what this does to us.

They are right I don't understand and don't care.

I laugh and the next time I need someone with a Ham radios help I would rather wait for the ambulance to come or drive myself.

And for those who say what if those services are not available and I can't get help and need a Ham radio operator.

I say great if they want to help me. But otherwise I won't hold my breath.

I like Ham radios I like using them. But I am not going to cry over it if someone interferes I can just change channels or turn it off and make a phone call. (wow) that's a new concept. Save the Radio for when its a real emergency.

LOL I get a kick out of BPL and Hams crying about this and that.

Trust me I can are less.

About to ask you the same thing.

I am tired of hearing about people crying over spilled milk.

You say my worthless opinions? I guess it depends on what you call worthless. I am not giving my opinion. I express how I feel.

Like I said I can care less about the HAM/BPL arguments and would love to see them co-exist and stop the bickering.

And I would love it for members to be a little more respectful to other members ( such as yourself).

Learn some manners when posting here. It is not taken to kindly calling a Members post worthless. Take a lesson from this.

You don't have to agree with a post.

If the post was worthless you wouldn't have bothered replying or getting involved.

Not sure what your aim or trying to accomplish other than Trolling, stirring up trouble.

I'll admit my post was badly worded and uncharacteristically troll-like. My apologies. My intent was that you don't seem to care about BPL, amateur radio, the interference issue or communications in general, so it's a bit pointless to post indifferent opinions, hence not much value to them. It's sort of like me posting in the gamer forums when I have no interest in that realm. When you characterize the debate as crying over spilled milk, it's apparent that you don't have an interest in the issues at hand.

Many of us have been following the BPL interference issue since 2003. Several of the problems have been resolved and in the remaining deployments, amateur radio and BPL have coexisted. The jury was still out on whether they could coexist in the mass geographical and high bandwidth deployments that BPL companies originally envisioned. However, Internet access BPL is essentially dying due to competition and lack of carrier interest, so I think the question will never be answered and many of the debates here are pointless. However if someone makes erroneous claims that amateur radio is useless or has no value in emergency communications, or the several other often-repeated wrong tidbits of so-called information, expect people like me to rebut.

Like I said before previous. I like Ham I and several others participate in Ham. I also however like BPL or at least the concept.

It would appear most of the time the forums are littered with arguments of people taking offense to someone who doesn't like Ham or BPL and it turns ugly.

Why play into there line of reasoning.
Thinking it will mislead the masses? I think not.
To many Ham radio operators out there.

As far as the BPL it is off to a rough start.

Giving in to Trolls who like to bash Ham or BPL is pointless.

That was the essence of my original post, plain put I can care less what others think and would like to see less bashing and arguing about what BPL does to Hams or bashing Hams calling them useless.

It is a shame that some BBR Members feel they have to bash others to get there point across.

This is not worth starting a Flame war over.

BBR doesn't need Trolls or fan boys ripping it up in here.

And if they do the best thing I have learned is to defuse the situation. ( Walk away / Ignore )
