But, Len, you think you know what is best for amateur radio and you
aren't even involved. You're pretty much of a minority.

I've not claimed to "know what is best for amateur radio."

That's YOUR claim.

That isn't correct, Leonard.

Dave,

A bit of clarification.

Mr. Anderson has repeatedly expounded his views on a wide range of
topics both here and in voluminous, repetitive comments to the FCC.
But I don't recall him ever claiming that they were "what is best for
amateur radio" or that he even knows "what is best for amateur radio."

Jim, I have to disagree. The very fact that Len submitted his ideas on
morse testing and a minimum age for amateur radio licensing to the
Commission demonstrates that he believes that he knows what is best for
amateur radio, in which he has never been a participant.

Leonard has, on occasion, tried to have it both ways. He has told us
that he was going for an "Extra right out of the box" and, in a
turnabout, that he really isn't interested in obtaining an amateur radio
license. He has written of his decades-long interest but he has never
even attempted to obtain even a code free ticket.

Truth is, when I'm chasing S92SS on 160, when I'm checking into the WV
Fone Net or when I'm reading the latest QST, I don't give Leonard a
thought. He wasn't a part of amateur radio's past, isn't part of its
present and, I'm guessing, won't be part of its future.
