[Beowulf] Apologies for the spam/virus yesterday

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

My preference, as well, is to maintain the mailing list.  Somehow, I 
didn't see a problem with the mail described by Don.

FURTHER (sorry for shouting, but I wanted your attention), I want to 
commend Don on the effort it takes to keep moderating a list like this, 
with an excellent SNR and a strong positive indication of expert posts. 
  I'd also like to take time to comment the folks who successfully 
colned RGB so he could post as much -- and as well  --  as he does.
