Have you found anyone competent to comment on matters such as radio
scanners eavesdropping upon phone conversations yet?

When you mob ran a story about that some years ago, you said that it
was "amateur radio operators" who were doing it.  I protested, saying
it was most unlikely, and that anyone with a scanner can do it.  You
wriggled out of it by saying that the term "amateur radio operator"
was meant to be interpreted as any "radio" enthusiast, as opposed to
"Amateur Radio" operator, and refused to print an apology.

After nearly twenty years, I terminated my subscription, disgusted at
a bunch of pelicans that makes pronouncements outside their competence
and are too gutless to admit their mistakes.  Should such a retraction
ever appear, I will renew my subscription.
