So, it seems that once again the "QSO Police" made a big 
noise over nothing ... and others made the noise louder and 
more unpleasant by adding their own irrelevant interpretations.

Perhaps the most revealing sentence in the brief flurry of 
emails is this one:

To all those who hunger for more activity on CW EME, 
especially on 144 MHz: it might make a big difference if 
your club seemed more friendly and welcoming to potential 
new members.  You seem to go out of your way to make it as 
unfriendly as possible.
