I think that your comments to Mr. Tully are childish and uncalled for.
It is attitudes like your's that turn many potential Hams away from the
hobby.  All of the terms that Patrick used are acceptable in everyday 
conversation and are heard on the ham bands daily. Had he been writing 
a term paper or thesis, then the flames would be vaild, but this group
is informal (remember REC.ham-radio ?). 
I think that a posted apology is in order.

                        Good Advice!^^^^^^^^
                               Reread his message ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
from the text of Patrick's message it seems that he and his group
are "into real radio" they get out of it what they want, and that 
is the most important part of any hobby.
