Re: [IRCA] Tolerance.

["Neil Kazaross" <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Agreed that IBOC is VERY relevent. I still have no problem with a separate 
list for it since quite a few here wish to have this list more centered on 
radios, antennas, and DX receptions and techniques. However, no one should 
be banned unless they are very rude to others here and no one needs to quit. 
The topic doesn't need to be closed unless it is going absolutely no where 
and/or turned into a 100% flame war. This is not the case here, IMHO.
