Of course, this is true, but do not forget the strong

I don't think myself or anyone else was ever implying that *all* front
end filtering should be eliminated. Surely, if one is operating a high
power transmitter at a populated side, then appropriate precautions
would be in order. We've drifted very far off-topic at this point. I
have nothing else to add.
