Re: [HCDX] [dxld] Jihad-DX

Hi Jari - For many years, I asked Glenn Hauser to stop making crazy
statements and negative comments about others in Cumbre DX.  No matter
what I tried, nothing worked.

About a year ago, I was receiving emails from numerous DXers saying
that they were reluctant to contribute to Cumbre because Glenn was
making such comments.  They were afraid that if they made a mistake
they would be made fun of by Glenn.

I realized that having Glenn as part of Cumbre DX was discouraging
the participation of others in what is, after all, a hobby.  His
comments had hurt people for a number of years and I was simply fed
up with it.  I concluded that having tried for years to get Glenn
to stop making such statements was never going to work.

So I ended Glenn's membership in Cumbre.  I also asked him repeatedly
not to run Cumbre items in his publications as we did not want to be
associated with what he was doing.  Glenn has simply ignored that
request, but that is hardly a surprise.

Glenn's latest statement {below} demonstrates that what I did was
absolutely the right course of action.

PS Bob Padula will get this as he receives Cumbre DX.
