[HCDX] Ranting and raving

["T. Bankson Roach" <sigint@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nobody said they hate WRTH. In fact, the reason I ranted and raved,
besides the fact that I like to rant and rave, is because I hold WRTH in
very high esteem. So if the NY Times has a front page headline saying
"Japon" [vice Japan] is going bankrupt, the error is significant beyond
what it would be if it were a less august publication. Anyway, as one
astute reader already noted in my rant I used "American's" when what I
meant to say was clearly "American". Mea culpa. WRTH culpa. I think it's
funny that that minor error, i.e. Columbia, generated so much email.
Hold on guys, girls, etc., winter DX will be here soon and we can all
calm down [maybe]. Now back to eating my crow.
