Good grief, Charlie Brown.

Surely your intention is good, but let's not take this too
seriously. Read to yourself, aloud, what you wrote. Take into
account today's vast means of communication, and re-consider whipping
someone for a suggestion that we enjoy the Citizen's Band. If those
suggestions seem silly then listen to 'Trucker's' conversations on CH
19. The language and topics of discussion are usually so foul that I
don't even bother with the CB for any other use but recreational SSB
and AM. It's really nice to meet someone on the air that shares the
same interest in radio.

Talk It Up!
