Re: [IRCA] Bob Young's comments on <can't mention it>

["Bob Young" <youngbob53@xxxxxxx>]

I think this turned into something ugly only in some people's minds. I saw 
only a spirited discussion. Also are there any boisterous pro-IBOC people 
here? Or are there people here who really don't care one way or the other? 
It seems to me that anyone who benignly accepts their hobby and maybe the 
whole AM band sliding off into oblivion obviously doesn't have very much 
emotional energy invested in this hobby. I think some people here are really 
overeacting to certain posts and maybe for the wrong reasons, I think there 
is more here than meets the eye. Anti IBAC comments just aren't going to 
stop, we need to accept that, 99.9% of DXers' hate it. If we don't want to 
read a post about someone getting WKRAP (now don't go crazy now Charles, 
hi!) in East Puddle, New Hampshire, we delete it, it's that simple, it's 
been said here and other places many many times, if we don't like something 
just hit the delete button. I do it many times each day. IBOC, IBAC, IBUZZ, 
what ever you like to call it is the most pressing problem this hobby faces 
right now and to ignore it and pretend everything is hunky dory is 
ludicrious. If I didn't want to read about IBOC and an e-mail came into my 
box with the subject line IBOC I would delete it, it's that simple and 
sometimes I do get tired of it and delete it, but most times not. I'm not 
trying to PO anyone, why can't we all just let each other do their thing. If 
I can't keep up with who is getting jammed by IBOC here where else am I 
going to get that information? And with this post I'm going to shut up for 
at least 20 minutes.
