Your right take it with a grain of salt.

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

Trust me I can are less.
Then why are you here and why should anyone care about your worthless opinions?
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 )
