A dispute with group co-owner Michael Dunn, as I understand it.
In a private message, Chuck told me roughly the same thing. I do not have
permission to post that message and thus, will not. I have not asked Mr. Dunn
for his version of the dispute as I have never specifically sought his advice
about any problems I've had with my scopes and thus have no personal relation
with him.
My wish is that the two groups combine. Chuck has been an inspiration to me
and the banter between he and others helped me refurbish a 2445B. As I
understand it, the purpose of this group is to EXCHANGE IDEAS. So long as
'banter' is polite, I welcome and appreciate it.
I am sure both gentleman are proud and honest people. As I understand it,
Chuck has been asked to rejoin the group and declined. My hope is that others
write him and encourage him to rejoin. As outlined above, I like/enjoy/learn
from the banter between various peoples on this group and the '2' group. With
two groups, banter is limited by lack of a common platform.
These groups are the closest 'amateurs' like me have to the peer reviewed
journals I used to read so many years ago. The group separation is similar to
the censorship of ideas. It is absurd to go from one group and quote
something to the other group seeking the banter enjoyed within each
SEPARATELY.
Simply, I hope people encourage Chuck to rejoin and the two groups combine to
one.
Thanks, larry
Very well said. I imagine that conveys most people feelings about this.
