To paraphrase Groucho Marx, I will not join any exclusive DX club that would have me as a member. 2. I will try to remember my childrens' names as well as I do those of Peruvian QSL signers. 3. I will try to finally sort and identify the 600 unmarked cassettes of logging sessions piled up in the corner. 4. I will not strangle the next visitor to my shack who asks, "Who can you talk to on that thing?" 5. I will not consume more than my body weight in Oreo cookies in any one DX'ing session. 6. I will deliberately mislead and misinform any new SWL who asks me what would be the best equipment on which to hear Rush Limbaugh. 7. In consideration of unanticipated visitors, I will try to better ventilate my shack, or at least keep a can of Glade air freshener handy. 8. I will not submit to any publication, online conference, or SWL ham net any loggings of VOA Greenville, WYFR, or WWCR, unless I happened to hear them on my teeth fillings. 9. I will concede that the world has more pressing problems than how Glenn Hauser pronounces the word "gigaHertz." 10. I will not list log unless the station I think I'm hearing is really, really rare. ----------------------------------------------------------- The above is Copyright 1994 Al Quaglieri.

I will not peck Andy Sennitt to death with insignifica, nit- picking WRTH corrections, and/or incredibly pointless questions. 12. I will not post information old enough to have appeared in Popular Communications. 13. I will not flame anyone who repeatedly misspells such simple words as "definitely" and "satellite," no matter how much they deserve it. 14. For the sake of bandwidth conservation, I will try not to unnecessarily mention the following topics: guns, WFIF, Jesus, how to use the DIN jack on the Radio Shack portable, Rush Limbaugh, modem taxes, Gene Scott, taglines, DAK portables, or government surveillance of our brainwave emissions. 15. I will try my best to ignore stupid messages that say, "Test message - please ignore." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Al Quaglieri Browsing Internet via MCI Mail P.O.
