Len, another extra credit trivia question: where does the term "wing nut"
come from?


Ahem...that's LEO, Brian... :-)

But, you have to admit that the A.I. message program is a darn
good one! :-)

The term "wing nut" probably came from within the USAF before
Larrah signed off the Form 1 on his desk. [that's what he was
called when trying to "wing it" with rationalizations of how and why
he did what he did]


N2EY: "Besides, here's a simple, plain fact:

No matter what job, educational level, employer, or
government/military service that a radio amateur has, if said radio
amateur opposes Mr. Anderson's views, he/she will be the target of Mr.
Anderson's insults, ridicule, name-calling, factual errors, ethnic
slurs, excessive emoticons and general infantile behavior."

I thought this might refresh your memory while you're preparing for more
civil debate on the elimination of morse testing, Leonard.
