Frankly eb, I was dissapointed in your comments used in the article, but I
do accept that you were most likely taken out of context and mis quoted
just as Steve was. You have your opinion, so nuff said, I'll get over it...
no flame intended.
Interesting how the atomic article paints a totally different picture, and
actually uses complete quotes, not just snippets! So what, It's poor
journalism burried as the second last story on the itnews site. As I think
Matt said, it probably won't be the last. Who cares, if some people see it
a bit negative, big deal.... publicity is publicity.
As far as Jason is concerned... well, I am sick of this cross-posting of
petty crap. When are you gonna get that damn chip off your shoulder. This
has got to be the most pathetic display of immaturity I've seen from a
grown man. I suppose I could revert to my inner child and put up a poll on
the wireless.org.au site asking 'when will Jason get the chip off his
shoulder?'
I even have your favourite passage from our submission... 'Melbourne
Wireless represents over 500 like-minded individuals in Victoria, and
thousands more around Australia and New Zealand' Hmm... yes I see where
that says 'and Jason Jordan and *his* people too' oops I mean 'and Jason
Jordan and those other guys just doing their hobby'. Not forgetting ALL
other Australians too, because I mean hey.... the name 'Melbourne Wireless'
kinda implies the whole country anyway.
Now hang on while the big boys line up their cannons to fire at you.... Are
you aware that some of the 'smaller boys' have already used e3 as an
example to paint a picture that community wireless groups are irresponsible
rouge's polluting the spectrum with their amplifiers and omni's? and that
they have quoted posts from the e3 site talking about using 802.11a
outdoors, implying a lack of knowledge and understanding of the class
licence regulations..... Yes thats right, Integrity Data Systems have used
e3 to try and make us ALL look like fools in their hearing with the
government inquiry. All this, and they're not even from one of those 'east
coast states' seeking global domination. Now is this where I should
complain that e3 is somehow representing me and putting MY hobby at risk?
Clearly you have no love for our 'obnoxious formal organisation', so...
should I care? Maybe you should unsubscribe from the list, we don't want
you to be consuming energy trying to resist replying to a post or two...

Oh good. It's important that it's been brought to *your* attention. Was
this brought to *your* attention by one of *your* people? Strikes me as
representative of your previous self-indulgent, self-righteous missives
that
I've so far been able to resist replying to.
But now you've gone plenty far enough because you're putting my hobby at
risk. I do not wish to be in the firing line of the Big Boys.

You are quite obviously not media-savvy and would do well to refuse
interviews. Perhaps appoint a capable Media Representative? Even better,
wiki up your press releases and use a consensus approach.

Forgetting the interactions with those insignificant wireless people over
in
WA? Perhaps you can't remember the vigorous debates?
Putting aside any philosophical issues - such as this obnoxious formal
organisation and idiotic claims to represent all Australian wireless users,
do you really, really think it's wise to allow yourself to be manipulated
in
this way?
If you can't resist the temptation of being a Glory Boy, at least ask for
vetting rights on the article/story.
I don't claim to represent Western Australian users. Only myself. Please
stop claiming to represent me.
