OT: not bashing a product just a warning to future purchase rs.

[John AE5X]

I've built several of Hans' kits over the years and was fortunate enough to meet him in person a few years ago. He's a stand-up guy all the way and embodies characteristics that are sorely lacking in KC6CNN.

His "Ultimate" series kits break new ground in ham radio - they are innovative and there is nothing else like them out there. One is adrift in the Pacific and still "reporting home" after almost a year:

Others have circumnavigated the world on cheap mylar party balloons:

Gerald, if you have so much as an iota of class you'll make an attempt to stand up on your hind legs and apologize to Hans just as publicly as you criticized him under the guise of "helping someone save their money".

While several noted that the original post was outside of list guidelines, it is -never- appropriate to personally criticize another list member for their posting. That is specifically prohibited on our Elecraft email list guidelines.

1. It is a violation of list guidelines to complain about a non-elecraft vendor, even if your post is well intentioned.

2. While it is ok to politely disagree with a list post,  never personally criticize a list member ( on-list or via direct email) for a posting they made here. Complain to the moderator and I will act as needed. We try to maintain a cordial and non-confrontational environment here. Berating and personally criticizing a poster is a severe violation of our list guidelines.

3. When reading list emails, resist the urge to immediately reply and personally criticize, defend our honor etc. (Sometimes just imagining if you would want your spouse, employer, kids, friends, customers etc seeing your reply will aid you in using the delete key before sending.. ;-)
