At this point, "Thanks for your comments" is probably the best response unless there is evidence of inaccurate information having prompted them, in which case it can be corrected.

I saw one email today that suggested there were 15,000 WinLink users. If only 10% of those would have filed comments in support of RM-11306 that would have significantly overshadowed the negative ones. Unfortunately, they didn't Chris, do you have the exact tally?

So Joel -- there were no supporting comments from the Winlink types? I've been telling these recent correspondents that they needed to generate many more supportive comments next time. I didn't realize they'd done NONE on this. 73 Bruce K0BJ
