You can ask Lyle or Frank or almost anyone what my response would have 
been 20 years ago.   I am VERY mild mannered today in comparison so I 
can empathize.  I think the event would have been akin to Krakatoa.

What I say today  is _/*GIVE ME A BREAK*/_.   You have people here 
giving up their time, talents,  personal intellectual property and it is 
clearly for the good of the many  while some may simultaneously serve 
their personal needs to experiment or benefit in other ways.  I know I 
am.  There is not one piece of the technology being done here that will 
fail to find a professional application for me.  That is why my employer 
pays me to do this.  The constant stream of innovations and applications 
that have come from the SDR work I have been doing has long since paid 
for itself.    Now we have open source contributors popping up all over 
my community of technical developers and now, it moves even to 
hardware.  Thank goodness for all of the selfless wonderful things 
people are doing here for all sorts of reasons.  But running a small 
clique is not one of them.

The tone of the comments were uncalled for and require an apology.
