[amsat-bb] Fwd: Final email.

[Patrick STODDARD]

Stefan,

Normally, I would agree with you on that general principle. Drew decided
to answer the shakedown by shining the light of day (or, at least, posting
it on the AMSAT-BB) to disarm the threat levied in the original e-mail.
Knowing that Drew is one of many operators who has worked from many
locations for a long time, and has traditionally been good at answering
QSL requests, it is unfortunate that he had to receive an e-mail like he
did this morning.

Having this play out in public may have served one purpose - a reminder
that this is still a hobby, and that real life sometimes gets in the way of
the hobby.
