I would appreciate it if a forum moderator could delete this post for me then. I couldn't find a way to delete the whole post. Seems I didn't know what I was talking about. So feel free to remove this post from your forum. I was mainly posting here to learn more about this 'person' I heard not to tell anyone who they were. I see now the call sign comes up with their name, when last night it didn't so it's all confusing to me.

Thank you for your admissions against interest.
For what it’s worth, I’m ambivalent about whether or not you delete your OP and your subsequent comments in a similar vein.
Perhaps a better approach in the circumstances might be to ask the Mods to enable you to edit your posts, so as to bring them closer to the objective truth(s). But, I’m a ‘Newbie’ here and no compu-geek, so I don’t know how feasible that is.
Since you are likely younger/less experienced/etc., allow me to make some critical CONSTRUCTIVE suggestions, should you choose/be able to edit your OP/subsequent posts and/or generally otherwise for the future….
Always keep the distinction between OPINIONS & FACTS CLEARLY in mind when writing/editing. And remember that there is no good writing – only good re-writing.
Most people and especially posters from the US on the World-Wide-Wasteland these days, think that they’re entitled to their OPINION, no matter what. That is NOT so! What they are entitled to is an INFORMED OPINION….
So, what is an INFORMED OPINION? Why, one ultimately based on objectively verifiable FACTS, which should be set out in the piece.
And what about FACTS? FACTS are SACROSANCT, in that they belong to the World and are NOT to be monkeyed with!
And what about ‘supposed facts’ proffered by an ANONymous, UNattributed, CLOAKED and fundamentally FRAUDulent website hosted from afar? Or, some DX Clusters, again from afar, full of psychotic ANONymous/FRAUDulent one-liners [search for the latest on your VE7KFM on
http://www.dxsummit.fi/Search.aspx]? They and similar ANONymous ‘writings from the edge’ should be your 1st clue that you’re on VERY thin ice, if you even partially rely on them….
Speaking of thin ice, remember also that generally presenting OPINION as FACT – and especially derogatory ‘facts’ that are untrue about anyone -- is actionable in defamation law [in Canada you have to prove the untrue ‘facts’ in order to have a chance at escaping liability]….
