 GS> Hello Rob,
 GS> I'm really looking forward to this posting.  We haven't had much of a

 GS> and has decided to "knock them off their high and mighty attitude."  He

 GS> he's become a real obnoxious pain in the arse and needs to be exposed
 GS> and stopped.
 RD> Well we have had our fair share of twits,dorks and morons who think
 RD> they can get away with it and harrass a repeater to death. Eventually
 RD> the real hard-core bozo does it once to many times and gets nailed.
 RD> As most jammers are looking for attention or out to vent their

 RD> get nailed. There is the odd bird who sees it as an ego trip,but they

 RD> them know how manyof their friends are waiting to talk to them... Most
 RD> when caught DENY it was them or plain cease any further activities.
 GS> If I somehow miss your posting would you be inclined to e-mail it to me?

 RD> If you miss it let me know and I'll e-mail it to you,no prob.
Hello Rob,
Thanks for the reply.  I believe all the factors that you mention are
valid.  I also think these people have too much time on their hands, and
it isn't getting a contructive focus.  I'm sure the city jail could
focus some of their time..hi..hi.
I think our local jammer has been squelched.  I haven't heard him for a
couple of nights.  I don't know the details yet, but I know he was
actively being hunted.  It was suspected that he was operating with a
stolen HT.  The owner had just got it and had only had time to program
the few repeaters that this twit was hammering.  With any luck at all
this fellow will experience his fair share of public embarrassment.
I still look forward to you posting.  Have a nice weekend.
Ttul, tnx es 73 de
