FS: ARRL Handboooks & publications

[Brian Carling]

This is all out of proportion, everyone!

Jim, that is the last time you publish my private e-mailed comments
to you, please! OK?

I am VERY offended that you did this!

This is my last comment on this thread that will go to the BA list
here.

We have a great list, and it should not be allowed to be ruined by
someone who gets carried away and over-states the situation
when giving his opinion about someone else's prices.

OK, $20 each was higher than normal, but not THAT extreme.

Jim, you are getting a bit over-excited and breaching etiquette here.

1) You said far too much about it on the group list.

2) Your publishing of MY PRIVATE E-MAIL TO YOU IS A LOW BLOW!
You never do that!

Your intentions may have seemed good to you, but you are becoming a
trouble maker here.

PLEASE cut it out now! By the way though, I did think parts of this
last  one from you was very funny and amusing, which is probably
the way we should end this whole thread. As friends; and have a good
laugh about it!

Fellas, let's all lighten up and forget it, OK? Life is too short to
get this serious over the price of a bunch of old Handbooks!
