Brian CROW K3VR above, on eHAM and on QRZ generally and elsewhere on amateur-radio fora on the Internet, constantly refers to/promotes the Centre for Media Studies Public Interest Research Group (CMSPIRG) website.

Yet CMSPIRG, a 'made up' entity, is unattributed and de facto anonymous....

K3VR was on QRZ recently challenged [by James K9KXQ] to disclose the 'directing mind' behind the site, but instructively refused to do so....

Now, most of us were taught before going to Grade School, to always consider the source. When the source is anonymous, most of us also quickly learned to give the material little or no weight. And when the source in addition has an axe to grind--as this one patently does--some of us have even been taught to read the material 'contra preferentum'....

Such critical 'contra' reading paints a very unflattering picture of the directing so-called "mind" behind CMSPIRG. On all of the evidence contained therein, that person obviously is a cyberpath, arguably a sociopath and possibly even a psychopath....

The fundamental question then arises: why does Brian CROW K3VR constantly refer with approbation not only to an anonymous site, but also to one written by such an arguably disordered person?

In the "PS" Brian states that the data for the so-called experiment was "posted courtesy of a friend", at:
http://h1.ripway.com/k3vr/5btv.html
Most interestingly, if one shortens the above URL by removing in effect only the 5btv reference, thus:
http://h1.ripway.com/k3vr/
surprise, surprise, one gets to [wait for it...] the infamous and unattributed Centre for Media Studies Public Interest Research Group (CMSPIRG) Webpage, obscene links and all that he posted on 16 February!

But, I suppose that the 'fine' question remains: is CMSPIRG authored by Brian K3VR or by his good "friend", who just happens to use his call-sign in the URL--with or without permission, HI.... Maybe this "friend" is Matthew GRAVES, or Herr Professor Dr. Jonas X. HASENFUS, or James DOOHAN, or.... But, I digress.
