OK.  You have all made yourself clear.  I was having fun on the FM birds.
Was actually thinking of expanding beyond this.  Joining AMSAT, maybe. Now that I 
have found out that this makes me a leper, I'm no longer interested.  You guys have 
fun doing whatever it is that you do.  It's clearly not what *I* do, and I'm not 
that interested in joining an organization that has members who are this insulting.

Good that you have this little private club.  Good also that you're not interested 
in cultivating new members. You could have had ME.
