I've said this before, but... IMHO his 'replies' are more than just
commercial clutter. eg, someone asks specifically how to modify an old
free galaxy antenna and he pops up pointing them to his commercial
products. I don't recall seeing a single email from him that was not
soliciting business for himself/his company. His S:SN (Signal to Sales
Noise ratio ;) ) is severely lopsided.

Cheers.
